Three-Dimensional Technology to Diagnose Unilateral Cervical Atresia in Obstructive Hemivagina with Ipsilateral Renal Anomaly: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

BACKGROUND: Congenital atresia of the cervix in the setting of an obstructed hemivagina with ipsilateral renal anomaly (OHVIRA) is an unusual occurrence that is frequently missed using preoperative imaging modalities.

CASE: A 14-year-old female adolescent presented to a tertiary care facility with abdominal pain associated with a mass. Initial imaging with ultrasound and magnetic resonance suggested OHVIRA but 3-D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) also correctly identified unilateral cervical atresia on the obstructed left side.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION: Three-dimensional MRI in the setting of OHVIRA was used successfully in this case to preoperatively identify cervical atresia and to guide preoperative surgical counseling and planning. The use of 3-D MRI for this purpose has, to our knowledge, never been described in the literature. Three-dimensional printed models derived from 3-D MRI can play an evolving role in the management of Müllerian anomalies as preoperative planning and surgical counseling tools.
