Abstract:
The unique clinical syndrome of the uterus didelphys, a unilateral partially or completely obstructed vagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis is quite rare, and observed on the right side in greater frequency than on the left. The case of fifteen year old girl with uterus didelphys, unilateral partially obstructed vagina and acute renal failure associated with ureteral stone in unilateral kidney is described. Extracorporealshock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and evacuation of the hematocolpos and excision of the vaginal septum were done. Aware of this relatively rare condition is mainstay of prompt diagnosis which will prevent permanent renal failure and unnecessary and destructive surgery.
