AI Article Synopsis
- Müllerian duct anomalies (MDAs) are rare congenital disorders of the female reproductive system, affecting about 0.5%-5.0% of the population due to abnormal development of the Müllerian ducts.
- A case study describes a 16-year-old Middle Eastern girl with primary amenorrhea and abdominal pain, diagnosed with uterine didelphys accompanied by a transverse vaginal septum.
- This specific combination is exceptionally uncommon, with this being only the third reported case in medical literature, differing from the more typical association of uterine didelphys with a longitudinal vaginal septum.
Article Abstract
Müllerian duct anomalies (MDAs) are congenital disorders of the female genital tract resulting from abnormal embryological development of the Müllerian ducts. These abnormalities occur in approximately 0.5%-5.0% of the general population. The case involves a 16-year-old Middle Eastern female referred to the clinic due to primary amenorrhea and lower abdominal pain. Upon evaluation, we identified a congenital anomaly known as uterine didelphys with a transverse vaginal septum. Uterine didelphys is a type of Müllerian duct anomaly characterized by the complete duplication of the uterus, cervix, and sometimes the vagina. Our case is exceptional, as most reported instances feature a longitudinal vaginal septum with uterine didelphys, and it is rare to find both longitudinal and transverse vaginal septa. The combination of uterine didelphys with only a transverse vaginal septum is extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, this is only the third reported case of its kind.

Article Synopsis
- The Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by a double uterus, obstruction of one side of the vagina, and absence of a kidney, usually affecting the right side, with symptoms often starting at puberty.
- Common issues experienced by individuals include pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, and infertility due to complications such as hematocolpos or hematometra, with potential long-term problems like endometriosis and increased risk of miscarriage.
- Diagnosis typically begins with an ultrasound, but MRI is preferred for confirming the syndrome and identifying associated anomalies; treatment often involves surgically removing the obstructed vaginal septum, as demonstrated in a case study of a 43-year

Article Synopsis
- Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich Syndrome (HWWS) is a rare condition, and this case is the first to show an unusual problem with the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine out of the body.
- A 27-year-old woman had issues like blood in her urine, pain while peeing, and trouble urinating, which led doctors to do an MRI.
- The MRI revealed she had a special type of uterus with two parts and two cervixes, which explains her problems and suggests that the unusual urethra might be causing her discomfort.

Article Synopsis
- Diabetes insipidus is a condition marked by excessive urine production and intense thirst, as seen in a 49-year-old man with symptoms lasting 3 months.
- He was diagnosed with partial nephrogenic diabetes insipidus due to his inability to concentrate urine and a poor response to desmopressin.
- Additionally, his recurrent low potassium levels led to the diagnosis of Gitelman syndrome, and with increased fluid intake and potassium supplementation, his symptoms improved, showing potential reversibility of the condition.
