[Uterus duplication abnormalities with unilateral kidney agenesis, a report on 5 cases]

Uterus malformation with renal agenesis at the same time are rare but well-known in literature. The leading symptom is dysmenorrhoea, pain in the lower abdomen increasing with each menstruation and a growing tumour in the small pelvis. We consider sonography of the small pelvis as being the optimal diagnostic examination. Once the diagnosis has been made, a laparotomy is indispensable. Further proceedings depend on the intraoperative result, whether a reconstruction and/or a partial removement of the inner female genital organs is possible or necessary. We could successfully treat 5 cases of genital malformation with ipsilateral renal agenesis.
