Hysterosalpingography and Ultrasonography Features of Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich Syndrome Detected during Infertility Workup

TL;DR

This paper presents a rare case of Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich Syndrome diagnosed using ultrasonography and hysterosalpingography during an infertility evaluation.

Contribution

The novelty lies in diagnosing HWWS using HSG and ultrasonography instead of the typically used MRI.

Findings

HWWS was successfully diagnosed using ultrasonography and hysterosalpingography.

The case highlights the potential of non-MRI imaging techniques in detecting rare urogenital anomalies.

The patient presented with infertility, leading to the discovery of the syndrome.

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.
