## 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.

## Key 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.
