A 27 year old female presented with two months history of continuous vaginal bleeding. On evaluation, she was diagnosed as a case of vaginal clear cell adenocarcinoma (VCCA) along with associated Müllerian duct anomalies including didelphys uterus with double vagina; left sided renal agenesis and situs inversus. Although VCCA is strongly linked to in-utero exposure with Diethyl stillboestrol (D...

We were able to diagnose all the cases of hydrocephalus and ventriculomegaly, cranial menigocele, spina bifida, cleft lip and palate, micrognathia, cyst of lacrimal duct, hydronephrosis, renal agenesis simple renal cyst, clubhands, talipes, polydactyly, rib agenesis, diaphragmatic hernia, CCAM, atrial and atrioventricular se...

Another point to consider is whether treatment of diabetes could have played a significant part in the aetiology of renal agenesis. The critical time for renal development is between 3 and 7 weeks, the somite stage to 18 mm size. During this time the mesonephros, mesonephric duct, metanephros and ureteric bud are in an active stage of development (Shikinami, 1926; Torrey, 1954). Hypoglycaemia h...

Only 3 cases have been reported from Africa and to our knowledge none has been reported from our country Ethiopia. Viability depends on associated anomalies. Urogenital anomalies are the most common associated ones accounting for 54% of cases. This case report is unusual presentati...
