Abstract

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome is a rare congenital Müllerian anomaly characterized by uterus didelphys, obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. It typically presents during adolescence with dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, and, in some cases, a palpable pelvic mass due to hematocolpos or hematometra. Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent complications such as endometriosis and infertility. Imaging techniques, particularly MRI and ultrasound, play a key role in detection. Treatment involves surgical correction, usually through vaginal septum resection, to restore normal menstrual flow and alleviate symptoms. Multidisciplinary management is recommended for optimal patient outcomes. A clinical case of HWW syndrome in 13 year old girl will be presented
