Penile agenesis is one of the rarest urogenital anomalies with only less than 100 cases reported worldwide so far. 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...

Complete agenesis of urinary bladder is an extremely rare anomaly with only a few live cases reported so far. In most of the instances death occurs early as it may be incompatible with life. Here we report a case of adolescent female with urinary bladder and unilateral renal agenesis, who presented with a rather unusual presentation of incontinence, for a computed tomography (CT) examination. O...

INTRODUCTION Ultrasonography is used routinely during pregnancy to screen and detect fetal abnormalities. However, there are some conditions like anhydramnios (a prevalent state in renal agenesis) or maternal obesity that may limit the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography. Magnetic resonance imaging has proven to be useful when ultrasound alone is insufficient to make a correct diagnosis. C...

Abstract Background This study aims to characterize the spectrum of imaging findings in patients Mayer–Rokitansky–Kuster–Hauser (MRKH) syndrome presenting with primary amenorrhoea. Objectives (1) To aid clinical diagnosis MRKH syndrome. (2) detect associated non gynecological anomalies. (3) arrive at optimal management options. Results prospective observational was performed 14 subjects who pre...

A detailed quantitative analysis was made of the lungs from 8 infants dying with bilateral renal agenesis or dysplasia. Total lung volume was reduced in all cases, particularly in those with renal agenesis. In both groups there was a reduction in number of airway generations, indicating interference with development at between 12 and 16 weeks' gestation. The alveoli in each acinus were reduced ...

vagina is a rare disease entity that is often accompanied by ipsilateral renal agenesis. It was recognized as early as 1922 (1) and is sometimes referred to as HerlynWerner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome (2, 3). The association of renal agenesis with ipsilateral blind hemivagina was reported as Herlyn-Werner syndrome in 1971 (4), while the association of renal aplasia, bicornuate uterus with isolate...

The developmental origin of arsenate-induced renal agenesis was investigated. Pregnant Wistar rats were each injected once ip with 45 mgkg sodium arsenate a t day 10 (sperm day = day 0). Pregnancy was terminated a t various times following injection and the embryos recovered and serially sectioned. Renal agenesis resulted when the mesonephric duct failed to give rise to a ureteric bud with subs...
