Hydrometrocolpos is a rare congenital disorder in which excessive mucus secretions accumulate from a genital tract obstruction resulting in cystic dilatation of the vagina and uterus. The spectrum of hydrometrocolpos is broad, ranging from mild cases undetected until adolescence to more severe conditions described prenatally as a large pelviabdominal cystic mass. The authors describe the prenatal sonographic detection of a double cystic pelvic mass subsequently proven to be hydrometrocolpos in a fetus with marked ascites, pyelocaliectasis, pulmonary hypoplasia, and uterine duplication.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
