An uncommon case of sarcomatoid urothelial carcinoma in covered bladder exstrophy
2016
Abstract We report a case of a woman affected by covered exstrophy, uterus didelphys and external genital malformation presenting with advanced bladder cancer. After neoadjuvant therapy and anterior pelvic exenteration, the abdominal wall was reconstructed with a pedicled myocutaneous muscle-sparing vastus lateralis flap.
The double uterus associated with an obstructed hemivagina: Clinical management
1991
Abstract The clinical management of It) patients, 9 with uterus didelphys and 1 with complete septate uterus associated with an obstructed hemivagina, is described. The diagnostic evaluation revealed a complete unilateral obstruction in four patients, and an anomalous communication between the two uterovaginal channels in six. In all such patients, the presence of regular menses is frequently misleading, perhaps resulting in unnecessary laparotomy and inadequate or extirpative surgery with negative reproductive consequences. However, diagnosis is simplified if the gynecologist is aware of the malformation. Recommended treatment consists of evacuation of the retained menstruum and excision o…
MR Imaging of Uterus Didelphys Transverse Vaginal Septum Causing Hematometrocolpos and Renal Agenesis
2002
The association of uterus didelphys and unilateral blind vagina with ipsilateral renal agenesis is an infrequent urogenital malformation distinguished by a lesion of the mesonephric duct. In most patients, symptoms are present at the beginning of the menstrual cycle because a transverse vaginal septum on one side obstructs the flow of menses, which consequently collect. Magnetic resonance imaging allows a precise delineation of this congenital abnormality, clearly demonstrating the transverse vaginal septum with hematometrocolpos and uterus didelphys. Extending the magnetic resonance study to the abdomen and employing coronal sections with a wide field of view is important to search for ass…
