Blind megaureter with ipsilateral renal agenesis and mullerian anomaly: MRfindings in a case

The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of a patient with congenital blind meg aureter and mullerian anomaly are presented. A retroperitoneal pelvic mass appeared as elongated tubular cystic structure spreading from parametrium t o the adnexa and reaching the recto-sigma. On MRI, the mass was hyperintens e on T1 and T2-weighted images and disappeared in STIR sequences. The mass with pseudo-intestinal structure, the retroperitoneal site, and the MRI seq uences make the differential diagnosis. (C) Elsevier Science Inc., 1999.
