Mullerian malformation

Ovarian maldescent has an incidence of 0.2%-0.5% [22]. It may occur uni- or bilaterally and can be associated with Mullerian malformations [6]. In ovarian maldescent, ovaries may be found in an ectopic position along its migration pathway from the lumbar region to the ovarian fossa (Fig. 8.13). Rarely, ovaries... 

Congenital malformations of the uterus, also termed Mullerian duct anomalies (MDA) are an uncommon, but often treatable cause of infertility. Estimates of its frequency vary widely owing to different patient... 

A longitudinal vaginal septum (Fig. 12.9) occurs as a consequence of incomplete fusion of the miille-rian ducts or resorption failure of the vaginal septum. This anomaly is also typically associated with other malformations of the mullerian ducts [septate uterus, bicornuate uterus, uterus didelphys (Fig. 12.9), cervical duplication] [2j. 

Due to the close developmental relationship of the urinary and the genital tract, malformations frequently occur in both of these systems. Major renal anomalies are common in patients presenting with unilateral obstruction or agenesis of duplicated structures derived from the mullerian duct. 

Pediatric radiologists will commonly come across mUllerian duct anomalies at two different stages of a girl s life. In neonates diagnostic requests encompass evaluation of a palpable abdominal mass and delineation of associated genital malformation in urogenital sinus anomalies. In adolescent girls delay in puberty or primary amenorrhea as well as pelvic...
