Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome in a adolescent girl

Abstract

Herlyn-WernerWunderlich syndrome (HWWS) is a rare congenital genitourinary anomaly with uterine anomalies, unilateral cervicovaginal obstruction, and ipsilateral renal anomalies resulting from the embryological arrest of Müllerian and mesonephric ducts. The onset of nonspecific symptoms occurs after menarche. Having two normal uteri and obstructed cervix or hemivagina, the patient will have regular menses through the non-obstructed vaginal side, coinciding with cyclic pelvic pain from the encumbered blood in the obstructed side. The diagnosis is often delayed until acute complications develop.
