V ACTERL association: case report.

Reviewer's report:
Dear colleagues, 
Although  the  case  attended  is  very interesting  I  would  recommend  an  extensive  review  on  the  
embryological development of the female genital tract. 
You state that your aim when publishing this case is in hope of expanding the knowledge of a rare  
occurrence and increasing the demand for further research about the etiology and embryogenesis of  
such anomalies but little is said along the text except that the unicornuate uterus is a Type II and  
correspond to a müllerian anomaly. 
Please notice that this in fact corresponds to a mesonephric anomaly (Left renal agenesis and ipsilateral  
cervicovaginal anomaly) and the embryology of such anomaly has been well communicated. 
In this same direction, in page 6, line 60, should read LEFT instead of right, for the renal agenesis. 
Kind regards.
