Differential table of obstructed hemivagina with ipsilateral renal agenesis (OHVIRA)

X-ray Pelvic US CT MRI Contrast enhancement
OHVIRA Absent renal outline suggesting diagnosis Pelvic fluid collection contiguous with the endocervix Hypo/hyper dense pelvic fluid collection, absent ipsilateral kidney Iso/low T1, high T2 signal pelvic fluid collection contiguous with the endocervix; didelphic uterus; Ipsilateral renal agenesis. None unless infected
Cystic ovarian Malignancy NA Multiseptated pelvic mass with internal flow Fluid/soft tissue density septated pelvic mass Multiloculated low/high T1, areas of high T2 signal. Enhancing soft tissue components
Pelvic abscess NA Heterogeneous echogenic pelvic mass with peripheral flow Fluid density pelvic mass, kidneys present Low T1, high T2 signal pelvic mass with with/without loculations Peripheral enhancement
Ovarian cyst NA Anechoic fluid verses fluid with low level echoes, consistent with/hemorrhage Fluid density pelvic mass, kidneys are present Iso/low T1, high T2 signal pelvic mass None
Pyosalpinx NA Tubular hyperechoic pelvic mass Tubular fluid density pelvic mass, kidneys present Iso/low T1, high T2 signal tubular pelvic mass; kidneys present None to mild peripheral enhancement
Hydrosalpinx NA Tubular hypoechoic pelvic mass Tubular hypodense pelvic mass, kidneys present Tubular low T1, high T2 signal pelvic mass. Kidneys are present None
