Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich Syndrome: A Rare Congenital Uterine Anomaly

Abstract
Introduction: Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich Syndrome is a rare anomaly and exact incidence is not known. It is usually diagnosed in young girls who present with cyclical abdominal pain along with cyclical menstruation. Case Report: We present case of two girls who had this syndrome. An ultrasound was performed in both patients. In first patient, it revealed uterus didelphys with hematocolpos on right side. In the second patient, a large hematometra of size 9.8×12.2 cm, along with hematocolpos was present on the left side. Both the patients underwent examination under anaesthesia and excision of septum. They remained asymptomatic during one year follow-up. Conclusion: Treatment of such cases is excision of septum and to maintain the patency of the outflow tract and prevent stricture formation later. A good follow-up in immediate post-operative period is necessary.
