ABSTRACT
Introduction The urinary and genital tracts are closely related functionally and anatomically and have a common embryological development with interaction between the two ductal systems necessary for normal growth. Congenital abnormalities of the urinary system are often associated with abnormalities in the genital tract. Thompson and Lynn1
found that 35% of females with unilateral renal agenesis have partial or complete duplication of the genital tract. In another study renal agenesis was present in 43% of women with uterus didelphys (Figure 5.1) and 10% of patients with genital tract abnormalities had an abnormal or ectopic kidney.2
