Abstract

Urinary hydrometrocolpos is rarely diagnosed and is most often attributed to a persistent urogenital sinus or a cloaca. We report the case of a neonate in which the use of dynamic MRI allowed accurate preoperative diagnosis of urinary hydrometrocolpos secondary to ectopic drainage of a small left pelvic kidney, associated with a bicornuate uterus.
