True management of Obstructed Hemi-vagina and Ipsilateral Renal Anomaly syndrome. Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome is an unusual congenital anomaly of the female genitourinary system, which is described as uterine didelphys with Obstructed Hemi-vagina and Ipsilateral Renal Anomaly (OHIRA), also known as OHVIRA syndrome. Typical symptoms are pelvic pain, tenderness, pelvic mass due to blood collection in the obstructed hemi-vagina and uterus, and dysmenorrhea that usually begins shortly after menarche. Clinical suspicion is very important for diagnosis and correct management avoids both short- and long-term complications. Surgical removal of the vaginal septum is the main treatment method. Herein, we describe the evaluation and surgical management of a patient with OHVIRA syndrome who was diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging and pelvic ultrasound.
