Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome

Discussion:

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome encompasses

  • uterine didelphys with vaginal septum causing hemivaginal obstruction
    • consequent unilateral hematocolpos, hematometra, hemosalpix and occasionally hemoperitoneum
  • contralateral Mullerian duct is well developed so that the patient presentation is often vague as there is no amenorrhea.
  • ipsilateral renal agenesis with compensatory hypertrophy of the contralateral kidney

This patient underwent resection of the left hemiuterus with improvement of her symptoms.
