Obstructed hemivagina with an ipsilateral renal anomaly (OHVIRA) syndrome is a congenital malformation that presents as a uterine didelphys with an obstructed hemivagina and an associated ipsilateral renal aberration. The clinical symptoms usually manifest after menarche. Unlike the typical presentation in adolescence, this case report features a neonatal presentation of OHVIRA syndrome with an unusual renal association. A female twin delivered at 35 weeks of gestation was transferred to our institution after birth from an outside hospital due to respiratory distress and for evaluation of the left multicystic dysplastic kidney identified on prenatal ultrasound. Physical examination and lab results, including a complete blood count, and a basic metabolic panel, including blood urea and serum creatinine, were within the normal range for age. Abdominal and pelvic ultrasound showed multicystic dysplastic left pelvic kidney, congenital hepatic cyst measuring 6 mm, uterine didelphys with duplication of the vaginal canal, and obstructed left hemivagina corresponding to the OHVIRA syndrome. Further testing revealed a normal chromosomal microarray, small patent foramen ovale on the echocardiogram, no vertebral or rib anomalies on the spinal x-ray, normal hearing test, and mild optic cupping on the ophthalmological evaluation. The pediatric surgeon and urologist recommended an outpatient follow-up and elective surgery in the future. This is a unique case presenting in the neonatal period with an unusual association. Timely intervention can help prevent obstetric complications.

We present the first description of a family in which 2 siblings show alternative expression of CRKL gene deletion as the phenotypes of Zinner (OSVIRA, obstructed seminal vesicle and ipsilateral renal agenesis) and OHVIRA (obstructed hemivagina with an ipsilateral renal anomaly) syndromes. The male infant with Zinner syndrome and his sister aged 5 years with OHVIRA syndrome both have a paternally inherited 703-kb deletion at chromosome 22q11.21 that includes CRKL.

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.

Radiology-performed ultrasound (RADUS) did not visualize the appendix, and there was a plan for surgical consultation to decide between serial abdominal exams versus computed tomography (CT) scan. While awaiting consultation and to help further narrow the differential diagnosis, the emergency provider performed a point of care ultrasound (POCUS) of the urinary tract.

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.

Obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly (OHVIRA) syndrome is a rare group of disorders that affects women at all stages of life. These disorders can elicit symptoms such as menstrual molimina and dysmenorrhea during puberty; miscarriage, premature birth, and infertility during childbearing age; and purulent discharge during menopause and old age. In this study, we report our experience with OHVIRA syndrome, which was diagnosed during childbearing age when the patient showed signs of infection during pregnancy.
