Background: Complete bicorporeal uterus, double cervix and obstructive longitudinal vaginal septum (classified as U3bC2V2 according to ESHRE/ESGE classification) is a rare congenital anomaly of the genital tract. This condition is typically associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis and is known as Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome or OHVIRA (Obstructed HemiVagina and Ipsilateral Renal Anomaly) syndrome. The primary symptoms include dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain, which usually manifest after menarche due to haematocolpos in the obstructed hemivagina.

Typically, the primary indicator is abnormal vaginal bleeding, and an accurate diagnosis can be established through ultrasound evaluation. Several surgical and endoscopic treatments have been described.

However, clinical validation lags behind the pace of discovery, leading to distressing uncertainty for patients, physicians and researchers. This "interpretation gap" changes over time as evidence accumulates, and variants initially deemed of uncertain (VUS) significance may be subsequently reclassified in pathogenic/benign.
