Lateral pyocolpos, double uterus, cervix, and vagina, with absence of left kidney

Abstract 1. 1. A case of lateral pyocolpos is described, in which there was a double vagina, double cervix, and double uterus, with atresia of the lower end of the left vagina. This genital anomaly was associated with the absence of the left kidney. 2. 2. Complete diagnosis of the condition preoperatively facilitated the extremely simple therapy. 3. 3. Treatment recommended is preliminary cleaning up of the infection by irrigation, followed by removal of the septum between the two vaginas. 4. 4. Points of importance in the investigation are the examination of the secretion from the lateral cyst, the use of contrast media in the pyocolpos and uterus, the determination of endometrium in the menstrual blood aspirated from the cavity, and the investigation of the genitourinary tract.
