Abstract
Uterovaginal anomalies are relatively common congenital disorders whose diagnosis at a young age is important but often difficult. The various modalities currently employed for this evaluation are discussed, including MRI, the most recent available tool. The embryology of female reproductive tract anomalies is included.
