Description
Lamichhane and co-authors report in 2023 a case of Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome, a rare birth defect of the female reproductive tract. The condition pairs a double uterus with a blocked half vagina and a missing kidney on the same side. Patients often show pelvic pain and painful periods after puberty.
A 14 year old girl came in with abdominal pain, back pain, and acute urine retention. She had reached puberty at age ten, with period pain starting four years later. Ultrasound and a CT urogram set the diagnosis. Care used incision and drainage, with later septum removal advised. The authors stress awareness to avoid missed diagnosis.
