ABSTRACT
Anomalies of female embryogenesis may result in a wide spectrum of problems related to the development of the urinary and genital tracts. Many of the clinical abnormalities seen in girls and young women that appear to involve the genitalia alone may be the harbinger of related urinary tract disorders. Abnormalities presenting in infancy may be easy to recognize secondary to abnormal antenatal ultrasonographic or physical examination in the newborn period. Many urogenital malformations, however, are elusive and may become evident only after a clinical problem arises.
