title: Early detection of unilateral occlusion of duplicated uterus with ipsilateral renal anomaly in young girls: two case reports with three-dimensional sonography.
abstract: Early detection of unilateral occlusion of duplicated uterus with ipsilateral renal anomaly is very rare and difficult. We present two cases using three-dimensional (3D) sonography as a noninvasive, comprehensive and effective method in the early detection of this syndrome in the young girls. The two young, unmarried girls had irregular abdominal discomfort and pain during the recent few years. Series traditional study showed pelvic lesions, but failed to recognized the definite cause. With 3D sonography, we demonstrated the rare congenital anatomic relationships and gave the optimal management. The girls recovered soon and had uneventful OPD follow-up. Application of 3D sonography in the suspected young girls avoids unnecessary examinations and invasive interventions, decreases the morbidity and improves their quality of life.
