A fluid-filled VAGINA that is obstructed.
A dilated cavity extended caudally from the hindgut. In adult birds, reptiles, amphibians, and many fishes but few mammals, cloaca is a common chamber into which the digestive, urinary and reproductive tracts discharge their contents. In most mammals, cloaca gives rise to LARGE INTESTINE; URINARY BLADDER; and GENITALIA.
A thin fold of MUCOUS MEMBRANE situated at the orifice of the vagina.
A condition of abnormally high AMNIOTIC FLUID volume, such as greater than 2,000 ml in the LAST TRIMESTER and usually diagnosed by ultrasonographic criteria (AMNIOTIC FLUID INDEX). It is associated with maternal DIABETES MELLITUS; MULTIPLE PREGNANCY; CHROMOSOMAL DISORDERS; and congenital abnormalities.
Pathological processes of the VAGINA.
The visualization of tissues during pregnancy through recording of the echoes of ultrasonic waves directed into the body. The procedure may be applied with reference to the mother or the fetus and with reference to organs or the detection of maternal or fetal disease.

Prenatal diagnosis of fetal hydrometrocolpos secondary to a cloacal anomaly by magnetic resonance imaging. (1/12)

Fetal female urogenital anomalies are often difficult to evaluate by ultrasonography, especially in late gestation. We report a case of fetal hydrometrocolpos detected at 35 weeks of gestation. Ultrasonography revealed a large retrovesical septate hypoechogenic mass in the fetal abdomen, however the sonographic findings were inconclusive. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed that the abdominal mass was fluid-filled with a mid-plane septum in the midline posterior to the bladder, and showed a connection to the dilated uterus that was duplicated. These findings were consistent with a diagnosis of hydrometrocolpos with septate vagina and uterus didelphys. The neonate showed abdominal distension, ambiguous genitalia and anal atresia with a single perineal opening. Hydrometrocolpos was secondary to a urethral type of cloacal anomaly. Aspiration of the mass and a colostomy were performed on the first postnatal day, followed by anorectoplasty at 19 months of age. MRI is a useful complementary tool for assessing fetal urogenital anomalies when ultrasonography is inconclusive.  (+info)

Contribution of prenatal imaging to the anatomical assessment of fetal hydrocolpos. (2/12)

Hydrocolpos may be associated with a lower urinary tract obstruction in a spectrum of urorectal malformations ranging from persistent urogenital sinus to cloacal dysgenesis. As cloacal dysgenesis carries the worst postnatal prognosis, detailed prenatal ultrasound should focus on the fetal pelvic anatomy to provide the parents with appropriate prenatal counseling. We report three cases of fetal hydrocolpos associated with low urinary tract obstructions, including two with a normal appearance of the anal canal and rectum on prenatal ultrasound and one with a complex cloacal malformation which contributed to the precise prenatal assignment of the malformation in each case within the spectrum of urogenital sequence malformations.  (+info)

Fetal magnetic resonance imaging in the antenatal diagnosis and management of hydrocolpos. (3/12)

Hydrocolpos should be considered systematically when an abdominopelvic cystic mass is diagnosed in a female fetus. Because the prognosis and neonatal management of isolated hydrocolpos with spontaneous resolution differs greatly from that of hydrocolpos associated with a cloacal malformation, it is important to ascertain prenatally whether there are associated anomalies. We report the prenatal characteristics of three fetuses with hydrocolpos; in two cases there was spontaneous resolution and one infant was born with digestive tract atresia. The principal ultrasound findings were an oblong anechoic pelvic mass with or without a sagittal septum, located behind a normal bladder. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the cervical imprint on the vagina confirmed the diagnosis of hydrocolpos and helped to diagnose cloacal malformation by demonstrating the absence of meconium beside the bladder on T1 sequences. Our cases show that MRI is useful for differentiating isolated hydrocolpos from hydrocolpos associated with cloacal malformation.  (+info)

Vesicovaginal reflux mimicking obstructive hydrocolpos. (4/12)

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to describe a series of cases of hydrocolpos that proved to be due to vesicovaginal reflux. METHODS: Cases with a diagnosis of hydrocolpos or a fluid-filled vagina identified from our ultrasound database were retrospectively reviewed. The results from sonographic and fluoroscopic studies were reviewed, along with demographic and clinical data. RESULTS: Four patients had sonographic findings mimicking obstructive hydrocolpos that resolved after voiding. Fluoroscopic studies showed abnormal urethral morphologic characteristics in all 4, diminished bladder capacity in 3, and vesicovaginal reflux in 3. No anatomic abnormalities were identified. CONCLUSIONS: Vesicovaginal reflux can produce vaginal distension that is sonographically identical to obstructive hydrocolpos. This may be due to dysfunctional voiding issues. Postvoid sonography allows proper diagnosis.  (+info)

Ultrasonographic diagnosis of congenital hydrometrocolpos in prenatal and newborn period: a case report. (8/12)

Our purpose is to present the ultrasonographic findings of a rare case of prenatally and postnatally congenital hydrometrocolpos secondary to imperforate hymen. By ultrasonography (US) at 38 weeks of gestation, a retrovesical, 60 x 43 mm pelvic cystic mass, was demonstrated in a female fetus. After delivery, US of the newborn revealed a 77 x 60 mm retrovesical, pear-shaped cystic structure with internal echoes, interpreted as congenital hydrometrocolpos. Mild pelvicaliectasis in the left kidney was associated. At physical examination imperforate hymen was detected and a hymenotomy was done. After the hymenotomy, complete regression of the hydrometrocolpos and of the left renal pelvicaliectasis was demonstrated sonographically.  (+info)

Hydrocolpos is a medical condition that affects female fetuses and newborn girls. It refers to the accumulation of fluid in the vagina, often due to an obstruction in the reproductive tract. This can occur when the vaginal opening (introitus) is blocked by a membrane or mass, preventing the normal flow of fluids.

The fluid accumulation can lead to distention and enlargement of the vagina, which may be noticeable at birth or detected through prenatal ultrasound examinations. Hydrocolpos can sometimes be associated with other congenital anomalies, such as imperforate hymen, vaginal septum, or cloacal malformations.

If left untreated, hydrocolpos may cause complications such as infection, urinary tract problems, and difficulty with menstruation later in life. Treatment typically involves surgical correction of the underlying obstruction to restore normal drainage of fluids from the reproductive tract.

A cloaca is a common cavity or channel in some animals, including many birds and reptiles, that serves as the combined endpoint for the digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. Feces, urine, and in some cases, eggs are all expelled through this single opening. In humans and other mammals, these systems have separate openings. Anatomical anomalies can result in a human born with a cloaca, which is very rare and typically requires surgical correction.

The hymen is a thin membrane that partially covers the vaginal opening in some females. It's a remnant of fetal development and varies greatly from person to person in terms of its size, shape, and flexibility. The presence or absence of an intact hymen does not definitively indicate virginity, as it can be torn due to various reasons such as exercise, tampon use, injury, or sexual activity. It's also important to note that some people are born without a hymen.

Polyhydramnios is a medical condition characterized by an excessive accumulation of amniotic fluid in the sac surrounding the fetus during pregnancy, typically defined as an amniotic fluid index (AFI) greater than 24 cm or a single deepest pocket (SDP) measurement of more than 8 cm. It occurs in approximately 1-2% of pregnancies and can be associated with various maternal, fetal, and genetic conditions. If left untreated, polyhydramnios may increase the risk of premature labor, premature rupture of membranes, and other pregnancy complications. Proper diagnosis and management are essential to ensure a healthy pregnancy outcome.

Vaginal diseases refer to various medical conditions that affect the vagina, which is the female reproductive organ that extends from the cervix (the lower part of the uterus) to the external part of the genitalia (vulva). These diseases can cause a range of symptoms, including discharge, itching, burning, pain, and discomfort. Some common vaginal diseases include:

1. Vaginitis: It is an inflammation or infection of the vagina that can cause abnormal discharge, itching, and irritation. The most common causes of vaginitis are bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and trichomoniasis.
2. Vulvovaginitis: It is an inflammation or infection of both the vagina and vulva that can cause redness, swelling, itching, and pain. The causes of vulvovaginitis are similar to those of vaginitis and include bacterial infections, yeast infections, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
3. Vaginal dryness: It is a common condition that affects many women, especially after menopause. It can cause discomfort during sexual intercourse and lead to other symptoms such as itching and burning.
4. Vaginal cysts: These are fluid-filled sacs that develop in the vagina due to various reasons, including inflammation, injury, or congenital abnormalities.
5. Vaginal cancer: It is a rare type of cancer that affects the vagina. The most common symptoms include abnormal vaginal bleeding, discharge, and pain during sexual intercourse.
6. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs): Several STIs, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital herpes, and human papillomavirus (HPV), can affect the vagina and cause various symptoms, including discharge, pain, and sores.

It is essential to seek medical attention if you experience any symptoms of vaginal diseases to receive proper diagnosis and treatment.

Prenatal ultrasonography, also known as obstetric ultrasound, is a medical diagnostic procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the developing fetus, placenta, and amniotic fluid inside the uterus. It is a non-invasive and painless test that is widely used during pregnancy to monitor the growth and development of the fetus, detect any potential abnormalities or complications, and determine the due date.

During the procedure, a transducer (a small handheld device) is placed on the mother's abdomen and moved around to capture images from different angles. The sound waves travel through the mother's body and bounce back off the fetus, producing echoes that are then converted into electrical signals and displayed as images on a screen.

Prenatal ultrasonography can be performed at various stages of pregnancy, including early pregnancy to confirm the pregnancy and detect the number of fetuses, mid-pregnancy to assess the growth and development of the fetus, and late pregnancy to evaluate the position of the fetus and determine if it is head down or breech. It can also be used to guide invasive procedures such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling.

Overall, prenatal ultrasonography is a valuable tool in modern obstetrics that helps ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and the developing fetus.
