A rare case report: Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) seen with primary amenorrhea and cervical agenesis
Abstract
The classic triad of Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome
includes blind hemivagina,uterine didelphys and ipsilateral renal agenesis.Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich
syndrome is a variant of Mullerian duct anomalies.Clinical presentation of the
Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome is usually accompanied by severe dysmenorrhea
secondary to hematometrocolpos beginning with menarche and palpable pelvic
mass.Early diagnosis and treatment are important in protecting the patient's
fertility and preventing complications in the long term.In this study,when a
13-year old patient from the pediatric age group was being investigated for the
pelvic mass,HWWS confirmed by MRI was identified.After the patient and his
family were informed,and their consent was taken,the diagnostic laparoscopy was
performed.Subsequently,after hematometra was removed by paravaginal repair,her
complaints were resolved.The patient was followed up regarding fertility and
endocrine functions,and a second operation could be performed in accordance
with her age.This syndrome should be kept in mind in pediatric and adolescent
patient groups who are investigated for severe dysmenorrhea, primary amenorrhea
or pelvic mass.
