Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical value of MRI in the diagnosis of oblique vaginal septum syndrome(OVSS),and to improve the diagnostic level for this disease.Methods Clinical and imaging data of 8 patients (7 adolescent females and 1 female in fertility period)with vaginal septum syndrome were analyzed retrospectively.All participants were evaluated by ultrasound examination before MRI scanning,and 1 of them underwent enhanced MRI scan.Results Among the 8 patients with OVSS,the main findings of MRI includes uterine deformity (4 double uterus,3 mediastinal uterus,1 double angle uterus with uterine septum),oblique vaginal septum (7 right oblique septum and 1 left oblique septum).All subjects presented with ipsilateral renal agenesis,and 4 patients with endometriosis,1 patient with ureteral distortion and ectopic opening and 1 patient with double inferior vena cava.6 patients suffered with hemorrhage in the posterior chamber of oblique septum and 2 patients with empyema.Hemorrhage in the contralateral vagina were observed in 3 cases,while no significant abnormality was found in other 5 cases.Conclusion MRI scan has an important clinical value on the diagnosis of OVSS and can provide crucial information for the optimal individual treatment.
