Publication date: Available online 6 May 2015 Source:Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI Author(s): Sharon W. Gould , Monica Epelman Developmental anomalies of the uterus and vagina are associated with infertility and miscarriage and are most commonly detected in the post-pubertal age group. These conditions may also present in younger patients as a mass or pain due to obstruction of the uterus or vagina. Associated urinary tract anomalies are common, as well. Accurate diagnosis and thorough description of these anomalies is essential for appropriate management; however, evaluation may be difficult in the immature reproductive tract. MRI technique pertinent to imaging of the pediatric female reproductive tract is presented and illustrated along with the findings associated with various anomalies.
