Congenital unilateral agenesis of the ovary and fallopian tube is a rare condition that has been previously described in the literature. While this condition is benign, studies have proposed it could be associated with infertility. The purpose of this report is first to highlight a rare incidental finding of unilateral ovarian and fallopian tube agenesis. Secondly, we aim to discuss the various imaging modalities used for the detection of uterine, ovarian, and fallopian tube defects and their shortcomings. Our case describes a 37-year-old G4P0030 woman with an obstetric history of spontaneous abortion and ectopic pregnancy, presenting at 38 weeks gestational age with polyhydramnios. The patient received routine obstetric care with no abnormalities being reported on routine ultrasonography. Elective cesarean section was performed at which time the incidental condition discovery of unilateral agenesis of the right ovary and fallopian tube was made. This case is unique since the incidental diagnosis of unilateral right ovarian and right fallopian tube agenesis occurred during cesarean delivery instead of through imaging. It is important for patient counseling to understand the typical workup and deficiencies in pelvic imaging concerning congenital anomalies.
先天性单侧卵巢和输卵管缺如是一种罕见疾病,此前已有文献报道。虽然这种情况是良性的,但研究表明它可能与不孕有关。本报告的目的首先是强调单侧卵巢和输卵管缺如这一罕见的偶然发现。其次,我们旨在讨论用于检测子宫、卵巢和输卵管缺陷的各种成像方式及其缺点。我们的病例描述了一名37岁、孕4产0030的女性,有自然流产和异位妊娠的产科病史,孕38周时因羊水过多就诊。患者接受了常规产科护理,常规超声检查未报告异常。行择期剖宫产时,偶然发现右侧卵巢和输卵管单侧缺如。该病例独特之处在于,右侧卵巢和右侧输卵管单侧缺如的偶然诊断是在剖宫产时而非通过成像发现的。对于患者咨询而言,了解先天性异常盆腔成像的典型检查方法和不足之处很重要。
