Background: Mullerian duct anomalies include a broad spectrum of genital tract defects that arise from developmental abnormalities of the genital tract. Herlyn–Werner–Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) refers to the combination of uterus didelphys, blind hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. In the literature, the syndrome often appears as a few sporadic case reports. Case: We report a case of symptomatic Herlyn–Werner–Wunderlich syndrome diagnosed by transavaginal scan and MRI and successfully treated with a laparoscopic-assisted hysteroscopic vaginal septum resection. The postoperative course was without complications, and clinical symptoms completely resolved the surgery. Summary and Conclusions: Combination of laparoscopy and hysteroscopy was found to be an easy, safe, effective and appropriate approach for patients with HWWS.

Abstract

Background: Mullerian duct anomalies include a broad spectrum of genital tract defects that arise from developmental abnormalities of the genital tract. Herlyn–Werner–Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) refers to the combination of uterus didelphys, blind hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. In the literature, the syndrome often appears as a few sporadic case reports. Case: We report a case of symptomatic Herlyn–Werner–Wunderlich syndrome diagnosed by transavaginal scan and MRI and successfully treated with a laparoscopic-assisted hysteroscopic vaginal septum resection. The postoperative course was without complications, and clinical symptoms completely resolved the surgery. Summary and Conclusions: Combination of laparoscopy and hysteroscopy was found to be an easy, safe, effective and appropriate approach for patients with HWWS.
