“…This was surgically proven to be ovarian torsion, the ipsilateral fallopian tube was atretic, no lead point was identified. The contralateral ovary and tube were normal structures and the rectum may bring meconium into contact with urine resulting in meconium calcification (Warne et al 2002a).…”

“…Cloacal dysgenesis sequence (CDS) is an infrequent but distinctive malformation with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, which occurs in about 1 out of 50,000 liveborn infants (Warne, Chitty & Wilcox 2002) that results in termination of pregnancy in most of the cases (Sahinoglu et al 2004). It is important to reveal a short review of embryology to understand the pathogenesis of CDS.…”

Cloacal dysgenesis sequence (CDS) is a lethal and rare congenital malformation; usually requiring termination of gestation. As prenatal ultrasonography remains a method with doubtable results, we used Fetal Magnetic Resonance Urography (FMRU) for the evaluation of a fetus at 18 weeks of gestation, suspected to cloacal anomalies. Prenatal imaging of the patient; showed smooth perineum, bilateral hypoplastic kidneys, dilated urinary bladder and absence of anal, urethral and vaginal openings; while prenatal sonographic investigation merely showed a mesenteric cyst. Gestation was culminated and no vesicocolon fistula was detected in the abortus. In the current study, FMRU provided larger number of anomalies and showed to be more sensitive in evaluation of urogenital anatomy compared to the results obtained from sonography.

“…The incidence is about 1 in 50,000 live births. [1] This complex malformation is a rare cause of fetal obstructive uropathy. [2] Cloacal anomalies represent the persistence of an early embryonic development in which the urinary, genital, and gastrointestinal tracts remain confluent and communicate with the exterior through a single perineal opening.…”

Cloacal dysgenesis sequence (CDS) is a lethal malformation with a highly variable presentation. CDS is characterized by direct communication between the gastrointestinal, urinary, and genital structures, resulting in a single perineal opening. Prenatal diagnosis of a cloacal anomaly is often difficult because of the highly variable imaging features. Here, we report a case in which a diagnosis of CDS was made with fetal MRI on the basis of a meconium-containing, bilobed, abdominopelvic cystic mass communicating with the ureters and the colon.
