summary The embryology of the mesonephric has been reviewed briefly. A syndrome has been described of persistence of the entire length of the mesonephric duct, accompanied by renal agenesis of the same side. Four case reports are presented to illustrate the clinical features. The treatment suggested is marsupialization of the vaginal aspect of the retention cyst.
