Abstract

Background: Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome is a rare congenital urogenital anomaly characterised by uterus didelphys with blind hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. Children usually have progressive pelvic pain after menarche, palpable mass due to hemihaemato(metro) colpos or pelvic inflammatory disease. The diagnosis usually requires a suspicion of this rare genitourinary syndrome.
