Abstract
Persistent mullerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is a rare congenital disorder. This condition results from a failure of Mullerian duct regression during fetal development, leading to the presence of uterus, fallopian tubes, and upper vagina in otherwise phenotypically male individuals. Radiological evaluation plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of PMDS. Various imaging modalities including ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography are employed to visualize and confirm the presence of Mullerian structures in affected individuals.
