title: [Right hematocolpos and hematometra with left renal agenesis. A rare association. Apropos a case].
abstract: Although this anomaly is seen more frequently, the present case is unique in that the genital anomaly (imperforate vagina with the subsequent hematocolpos and hematometra) was associated with contralateral renal agenesis, whereas the cases reported in the literature have all been ipsilateral. Like most of the cases, the presenting symptom was acute urinary retention arising from extrinsic compression of the genital mass on the lower urinary tract. The embryological aspects of the genitourinary system concerning the present case are discussed, as well as some of the hypotheses that have been put forward to explain the etiology of these anomalies, although these have been developed on the basis of the associated ipsilateral anomalies observed.
