Abstract
A persistent Gartner's duct cyst associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis or dysplasia is rare. A vaginal cyst at the introitus as the presenting co mplaint is very rare, and has not been previously described in a neonate. S epsis despite the presence of renal agenesis, or non- or poorly functioning renal tissue, is an indication for ureterectomy or nephroureterectomy on t he affected side.
