Dorsal pancreatic agenesis is a very rare congenital anomaly. Unilateral renal agenesis, on the other hand, is a relatively common congenital anomaly, although its etiology is not fully understood. Renal and pancreatic embryologic development appears to be nonrelated. We report a case of a 34-year-old man who was referred to our hospital for evaluation of cholestasis and microalbuminuria. Ultra...

INTRODUCTION Genital abnormalities have been reported in up to 12 percent of men with unilateral renal agenesis.(1) There have also been reports of neurofibromatosis patients manifesting ipsilateral renal agenesis.(2) Abnormal development of the mesonephric duct between the fourth and thirteenth week of embryonic life seems to be the origin of such cysts, which can have a variable clinical pres...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship between unilateral renal agenesis and auditory abnormality, and to determine the clinical spectrum of hearing impairment in such patients. METHODS Seventy-five children with unilateral renal agenesis underwent auditory examinations. The subjects comprised 35 males and 40 females. Fourteen females had mullerian abnormalities. Another 75 schoolchildren wit...

AIM Renal agenesis is a fairly common congenital anomaly with an unknown definite etiology. Unilateral renal agenesis is much more common than bilateral renal agenesis, but it usually does not carry any major health consequence, as long as the other kidney is healthy. In some cases, renal agenesis may by associated with other congenital anomalies. We report a neonatal female patient born with u...

PATIENT Female, 46 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Unilateral adneksial and renal agenesis Symptoms: Menometrorrhagia Medication: - Clinical Procedure: Total abdominal hysterectomy and unilateral salphingoopherectomy Specialty: Obstetrics and gynecology. OBJECTIVE Rare disease. BACKGROUND Unilateral renal and adnexal agenesis is quite rare. Absence of any uterine abnormality accompanying current urogenita...

Associated congenital anomalies are seen in 21% of retrocaval ureter patients; among them, associated contralateral renal agenesis is a very rare entity. We report one such case of right circumcaval ureter with left renal agenesis, diagnosed after febrile UTI. Surgical correction with uretero-ureterostomy was successful. In literature very few such cases are reported and only one case with rena...

Bilateral renal agenesis leads to anhydramnios and other sequelae including pulmonary hypoplasia. There have been rare case reports of normal pulmonary function in the presence of bilateral renal agenesis in monoamniotic discordant twins, but this has never been reported in a singleton pregnancy. The few reported cases in twins have all been fatal in the neonatal period with no reported cases o...

For the first time in 1946 E.L. Potter (1901–1993) described characteristic appearance of stillborns and deceased newborns with bilateral renal agenesis. Due to further observations distinguished syndrome (Q60.6) – a set external signs that are formed due extreme degree oligohydramnios intrauterine compression fetus. Classical is diagnosed by disfunction both kidneys fetus (for example, agenesi...

Congenital unilateral renal agenesis occurs in 0.93–1.8 per 1000 autopsies, and is usually diagnosed on an incidental imaging examination. Genital anomalies occur in 37–60% of females and 12% of males with congenital unilateral renal agenesis. Abnormalities in females include agenesis, duplication, rudimentary, unicornuate or bicornuate uterus, double or absent vagina, absent or hypoplastic ova...
