Blind hemivagina with duplex uterus and agenesis of the homolateral urinary tract is a rare malformation. For this reason, diagnosis may be not found. We report one case of duplex uterus with blind hemivagina in a fourteen-year-old adolescent girl. From this case, clinical signs, principal diagnosis criteria, complications and treatment are discussed, transvaginal resection of the hemivaginal septus is the best method of treatment but resulting hymeneal rupture may constitute a real problem of treatment in some social environments. So we propose to evaluate endoscopic septotomy.

Patients with obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly (OHVIRA) syndrome sometimes present with distinct symptoms related to coexisting urogenital abnormalities. We present a case of refractory abscess formation in a blind-ended remnant ureter associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis. A 15-year-old patient with OHVIRA syndrome, who had a blind-ended remnant ureter, underwent obstructed hemivagina opening 18 months after menarche due to heavy genital bleeding and abdominal pain after the end of menstruation.

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome is a rare and complex congenital anomaly of the genitourinary system characterized by uterus didelphys, an obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. It is the result of the maldevelopment of both the Mullerian and Wolffian ducts. Clinical manifestations of dysmenorrhea, dysuria, and urinary retention appear after menarche due to the accumulation of menstrual blood and distention of the obstructed hemivagina.
