Highlights

  • Didelphic uterus may be associated with unilateral renal agenesis.

  • Renal abnormalities may be seen in 15–30% of non-obstructed uterine didelphys.

  • This concordant case may suggest an inheritance pattern for this Müllerian anomaly.

  • Fetal MRI is helpful as adjunct to prenatal US for genitourinary detail.

Abstract

Uterine didelphys results from impaired fusion of the paired Müllerian ducts. The incidence of uterine anomalies is believed to be 0.5–2.0% of reproductive-age women, with didelphic uterus accounting for approximately 10%. Uterine didelphys is associated with renal agenesis in approximately 25% of cases. We present a case of didelphys uterus with a left solitary kidney in a mother whose female fetus also demonstrated uterine didelphys with right multicystic dysplastic kidney. This report highlights the significant contribution and complimentary role of fetal MRI in identifying fetal anomalies.
