Bladder agenesis with urometrocolpos.
A 20-day-old female presented in acute renal failure with an absent bladder and vaginal atresia. The right ureter opened into the uterus, resulting in a urometrocolpos, and the left ureter opened through a stenotic opening into the introitus. The literature is reviewed for reported cases and the embryo-pathology of bladder agenesis is discussed.
