Abstract
Cloacal dysgenesis sequence (CDS) is a rare congenital anomaly. It is characterised by a smooth perineum with absence of anal and genitourinary orifices, with reported incidence of 1:50,000-250,000 births. Association with bilateral renal agenesis is still rarer and resultant severe oligohydramnios is associated with pulmonary hypoplasia. Only a few cases of CDS with bilateral renal agenesis have been reported in the English language literature, with associated pulmonary hypoplasia as a default phenomenon. We report a case of CDS and bilateral renal agenesis without associated pulmonary hypoplasia in a twin pregnancy, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the second reported case of this amalgamation. 2016 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.Entities:
