[Coexistence of female sexual organ malformation and urinary tract anomalies].

OBJECTIVES

The aim of the study was to estimate the correlation between sexual organs and urinary tract malformation.

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

The retrospective analysis of clinical data obtained from 50 patients with sexual organs anomalies diagnosed in the Academic Gynaecological Centre between 1992-1999 was performed.

RESULTS

Material included 24 patients with the Meyer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome and 26 with other sexual organs' malformations. Frequency of urinary tract anomalies was 42%, 11 patients with Meyer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome and 11 with other malformations. The gravity of urinary tract anomalies showed no statistical significant difference dependent on the type and symmetry of genital malformation. Urinary tract anomalies were more frequent in cases of asymmetric genital malformation and the difference was statistically significant.

CONCLUSIONS

Intravenous urography proofed to be more sensitive than ultrasonography in diagnosing urinary tract anomalies.
