Magnetic resonance imaging of bicornuate uterus with unilateral hematometrosalpinx and ipsilateral renal agenesis.
A complex solid and cystic pelvic mass in a young patient was demonstrated by computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound (US). These modalities failed to accurately characterize the solid components as bicornuate uterus and the cystic areas as hemorrhage. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using multislice multiecho spin echo (SE) sequences made it easier to characterize the mass, clearly depicting the abnormality in transaxial and coronal planes and at the same time demonstrating ipsilateral renal agenesis.
