Un caso de Síndrome de Wünderlich y revisión de la bibliografía

Abstract

The diagnosis and treatment of congenital malformations is still a universal problem nowadays. The present work is a study of a case of a 14-year-old patient at the Cancer Hospital Dr. Julio Villacreces Colmont (SOLCA) in Manabí, Ecuador, that from September 2014 begins with clinical symptoms of steady pelvic pain, a persistent and fetid leukorrhea without menarche and response to a specific treatment. Once carried ultrasound and MRI, multiple congenital malformations are defined to give the diagnosis Wünderlich Syndrome; a rare disease, which is frequent at a 40%. The objective of this work is to demonstrate the high frequency of this disease to reduce unnecessary surgical treatment (hysterectomy), which is an aggravating factor for possible reproductive status. In Ecuador there is no statistical report of this syndrome, or there is underreporting of this disease.
