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...

SUMMARY A family study of bilateral renal agenesis was undertaken based on 103 patients with bilateral renal agenesis, ascertained through stillbirth and neonatal death certificates, and confirmed by necropsy reports; 28 were ascertained through paediatric pathologists. The families of 108 of these were traced and visited. The birth frequency in the year in which ascertainment was likely to be ...

Bilateral renal agenesis/hypoplasia/dysplasia is a lethal malformation in humans with an incidence of 1.3 per 10,000 live births. In the etiology bilateral agenesis/hypoplasia/dysplasia, genetic factor plays important role. addition to factors, also involves teratogenic effect hyperglycemia on embryo mothers insulin-dependent maternal diabetes. The purpose this paper present special case which ...

OBJECTIVE Herein we report an additional case of a seminal vesicle cyst with ipsilateral renal agenesis and ectopic ureter in an asymptomatic individual with a normal examination. METHODS We review the literature on retrovesical mas regarding the embryology, evaluation, management and treatment.. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS Seminal vesicle cysts with ipsilateral renal agenesis and ectopic ureter m...

Renal scintigraphy is a physio-functional exploration permitting the exploration and assertion of unilateral renal agenesis. We report the case of a patient followed for a right hydronephrosis having revealed an agenesis of the contralateral kidney confirmed by 99mTc-DMSA scintigraphy. Also 99mTc-DTPA scintigraphy allowed the evaluation of the permeability of the urinary tract of the single rig...

Mullerian duct abnormalities are congenital malformations that are easily missed and can lead to incorrect diagnosis and unnecessary operative procedures. In this case, a young female presented with cyclic pelvic pain that continued after previous surgical resection of an ovarian cyst. Further investigation with clinical examinations and multimodality imaging demonstrated ipsilateral renal agen...

BMJ Case Reports Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2012-007941 DESCRIPTION A surviving sirenomelia with renal agenesis was followed by a caudal mesodermal malformation in a subsequent pregnancy. A 29-year-old prediabetic overweight woman was diagnosed with fetal sirenomelia after an MRI study following an inconclu...
