Abstract
Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome is a rare Mullerian and mesonephric ductal anomaly characterized by a triad of didelphys uterus, obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis complex. This entity is also known as obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly. We present a case of a 24-year-old nulliparous female with Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich who presented with dysmenorrhea and intermenstrual bleeding. The diagnosis was initially made through ultrasound and confirmed on magnetic resonance imaging. The nonspecific nature of symptoms and variability in presentation depending on the classification and type of Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome often leads to misdiagnosis or a delay in diagnosis. Therefore, a high index of suspicion is required.
