Septate uterus with double cervices, unilaterally obstructed vaginal septum, and ipsilateral renal agenesis: a rare combination of müllerian and wolffian anomalies complicated by severe endometriosis in an adolescent

J Minim Invasive Gynecol. 2007 Jan-Feb;14(1):128-31. doi: 10.1016/j.jmig.2006.08.010.

Abstract

We present a previously unreported combination of müllerian and wolffian anomalies of a septate uterus with double cervices, unilaterally obstructed vaginal septum, and ipsilateral renal agenesis; this constellation of findings may offer clues that could modify classic embryologic explanations. In spite of the young age of our patient (15-years old), a chief complaint of malodorous vaginal discharge, and absence of dysmenorrhea or any other symptoms of endometriosis, laparoscopic examination revealed severe endometriosis with dense adhesions, probably as a result of abundant menstrual regurgitation. Laparoscopic resection of endometriotic lesions, adhesiolysis, and vaginoscopic septotomy were successfully performed while preserving hymenal integrity.
