Unilateral renal agenesis associated with ipsilateral blind vagina

Unilateral renal agenesis associated with ipsilateral blind vagina

P Acién et al. Arch Gynecol. 1987.

Abstract

All cases of unilateral renal agenesis are associated with an ipsilateral blind vagina except when there is agenesis of a urogenital ridge. Herlyn-Werner syndrome and some Gärtner's duct cysts or Wolffian remnants also represent a blind vagina and lend support to the idea that the caudal segments of the Wolffian ducts participate in the formation of the human vagina.
