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...

vealed an absent right kidney, dilated right ureter and seminal vesicle, and a normal left renal tract (Figure 1). T1 and T2-weighted MRI with gadolinium again demonstrated right renal agenesis, a dilated, non-obstructed right ureter containing proteinaceous material with no vesical connection, and a dilated right seminal vesicle (Figures 2 and 3). Cystic dilatation of the right seminal vesicle...

Seminal vesicle cysts are a very rare condition and its often associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis. The diagnosis of seminal vesicle cysts may be delayed or missed because of the non-specific symptoms of this condition. This article reports a triad of right renal agenesis, ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst, and ejaculatory duct obstruction (Zinner syndrome) in a 56 years old man.
