Abstract

Herlyn–Werner–Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) is a rare syndrome in clinical practice in which there is a combination of complete uterus didelphys and OHVIRA syndrome (obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis). HWWS refers to associative defects of the reproductive and urinary systems and occurs due to anomalies in the development of the Müllerian ducts. The review part of the article presents questions of its epidemiology, and provides historical information. The clinical picture, methods of examination and treatment are considered. Particular attention is paid to the difficulty of diagnosing HWWS and the need for its early diagnosis in order to preserve the reproductive health of girls. A clinical case of a 17-year-old patient with HWWS diagnosed during urgent laparoscopy, the complication of which was hematopiocolpos, is presented. The patient was referred to a level 3 hospital for specialized medical care, where she was operated on.
