[Dynamic gamma-camera excretory scintigraphy in the diagnosis of a rare anomaly in the development of the internal genitalia (the Slotnik-Goldfarb syndrome with uterus unicornis)].
The combination of a missing ovary and uterine tube on the one side (the syndrome of Slotnik-Goldfarb) with ipsilateral absence of the uterine horn is a rare anomaly, undescribed in our obstetric-gynecological literature. The difficulties in the diagnosis of this anomaly are connected with the necessity to use invasive methods for establishment of respective changes. The method was used in a woman, suffering from sterility, in connection with examining the possibilities of dynamic gamma-camera scintigraphy to discover ovarian parenchyma. Hysterosalpingography proved the presence of a hypoplastic uterine horn on the right side, an uterine tube on the same side (changed and nonpatent). Dysovulatory syndrome was established in this woman clinically. The performed scintigraphy confirmed the presence of ovarian parenchyma on the right side as well as a hypoplastic uterine horn and uterine tube and complete lack of accumulation of radionuclide on the left side, which suggested absence of ovarian parenchyma in the sideé in which the uterine horn and uterine tube were undeveloped as well. It is evaluated that the scintigraphic technique, described by the authors, could be used for establishment of such rare anomalies by noninvasive way.
