Associated congenital genitourinary and intestinal anomalies: A case report

The female urogenital tract originates in the intermediate mesoderm, with the Müllerian ducts being critical for uterine, vaginal, and tubal formation. This report presents a 44-year-old patient with uterus didelphys, urethral and bladder duplication, complete longitudinal vaginal septum and intestinal malrotation, suggesting a complex, multi-stage embryonic disorder. The patient, asymptomatic from a gynecological viewpoint, presented with refractory urinary incontinence. Magnetic resonance imaging was crucial in characterizing the anatomy. The rarity and complexity of such cases underscore the need for a comprehensive classification system and multidisciplinary care to enable accurate diagnosis, appropriate management, and improved patient quality of life.

Abstract

The female urogenital tract originates in the intermediate mesoderm, with the Müllerian ducts being critical for uterine, vaginal, and tubal formation. This report presents a 44-year-old patient with uterus didelphys, urethral and bladder duplication, complete longitudinal vaginal septum and intestinal malrotation, suggesting a complex, multi-stage embryonic disorder. The patient, asymptomatic from a gynecological viewpoint, presented with refractory urinary incontinence. Magnetic resonance imaging was crucial in characterizing the anatomy. The rarity and complexity of such cases underscore the need for a comprehensive classification system and multidisciplinary care to enable accurate diagnosis, appropriate management, and improved patient quality of life.
