Early detection of unilateral occlusion of duplicated müllerian ducts: the use of serial pelvic sonography for girls with renal agenesis.
For early detection of unilateral occlusion of duplicated müllerian ducts, serial pelvic sonography was performed in 215 girls with known renal agenesis, especially following menarche, during the last 6 years. To date, 16 girls with unilateral occlusion of duplicated müllerian ducts were detected. We stress the value of this modality, which can lead to a prompt diagnosis, and allow for early and appropriate surgical intervention.
