| Popis: | Background Isolated uterine didelphys requires no treatment in contrast to cervical agenesis, which requires a hysterectomy. Because of this, correct diagnosis of Mullerian anomalies is paramount for making recommendations for patient care. Case A 15-year-old girl presented to clinic with pelvic pain and primary amenorrhea. Uterine didelphys with bilateral cervical agenesis was diagnosed using imaging. Hysterectomy was recommended and diagnosis was confirmed at surgery and according to anatomic pathology. Summary and Conclusion Our patient with uterine didelphys with bilateral cervical agenesis presented a diagnostic challenge, because, to our knowledge, it has never been reported before in the literature. Her pattern of anomalies had significant implications for future fertility. Radiology exam was vital to confirming this diagnosis in a young, virginal female patient. |
