Obstructed Hemivagina and Ipsilateral Renal Anomaly syndrome is a rare obstructive uterovaginal anomaly involving both mesonephric and paramesonephric ducts. It usually presents after menarche with non-specific symptoms like pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, or paravaginal mass and examination findings of paravaginal or pelvic mass. Because of non-specific symptoms and signs, the diagnosis is usually overlooked, which leads to complications like endometriosis, tubo-ovarian abscess compromising patient’s fertility, and quality of life. Therefore, in presence of these nonspecific clinical features along with imaging findings of uterine didelphys and unilateral renal agenesis, this syndrome should be considered in the diagnosis. We present a case of a 17-year-old lady with Obstructed Hemivagina and Ipsilateral Renal Anomaly syndrome, diagnosed by finding of paravaginal mass on examination and uterine didelphys with ipsilateral renal agenesis in USG and managed successfully by resection of vaginal septum.
