An MRI of the pelvis with the abdomen is also an option, which will clearly demonstrate the absence of a kidney on the side with an obstruction due to the obstructed hemivagina.<\/span><\/p>\n The ultrasound or MRI to be performed does not require any special contrast injection or additional software for accurate disease reporting.<\/span><\/p>\n No special contrast or advanced software is required\u2014but the radiologist must be <\/span>trained and experienced<\/b>, or else this rare condition can easily be missed.<\/span><\/p>\n If you are concerned about symptoms or have been diagnosed with OHVIRA syndrome, we are here to help.

This is often compounded by incorrect surgical management, where only the hemivagina is cut and not resected completely.<\/span><\/p>\n This leads to infections and makes repeated surgeries difficult.
