Uterine didelphys with concomitant renal anomalies in both mother and fetus
Abstract
Uterine didelphys results from impaired fusion of the paired Müllerian ducts. The incidence of uterine anomalies is believed to be 0.5–2.0% of reproductive-age women, with didelphic uterus accounting for approximately 10%. Uterine didelphys is associated with renal agenesis in approximately 25% of cases. We present a case of didelphys uterus with a left solitary kidney in a mother whose female fetus also demonstrated uterine didelphys with right multicystic dysplastic kidney. This report highlights the significant contribution and complimentary role of fetal MRI in identifying fetal anomalies.
