title: Renal agenesis in association with malformation of the female genital tract.
abstract: Four cases of renal agenesis with an ipsilateral blind vagina and two cases with agenesis of all organs derived from one urogenital ridge are presented. These cases confirm the association of renal agenesis with these genital malformations and support the hypothesis that the embryologic development of the vagina is derived from the fused mesonephric ducts.
