AI Article Synopsis
- The Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) is a rare congenital condition affecting the urogenital system, featuring a didelphys uterus, unilateral vaginal obstruction, and missing kidney on the same side (renal agenesis).
- Diagnosis typically relies on MRI, but in this case study, HWWS was identified using ultrasonography (HSG) and hysterosalpingography (HSG) in a 22-year-old woman experiencing infertility.
- The findings highlight the importance of using different imaging methods for diagnosing HWWS in patients with reproductive health issues.
Article Abstract
The Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) is a very rare congenital anomaly of the urogenital tract. It is characterized by a combination of didelphys uterus, unilateral vaginal obstruction, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. MRI imaging is usually used for diagnosis; however, the authors present a case of HWWS diagnosed by ultrasonography (HSG) and hysterosalpingography (HSG) in a 22-year-old lady who has undergone an imaging workup of infertility.
