Özet
One of the least common forms of Mullerian anomalies is Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS), characterized by uterus didelphys, obstructed hemi-vagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis (OHVIRA). HWWS is also known as OHVIRA syndrome. Patients with OHVIRA syndrome generally present with increasing pelvic pain, dysmenorrhoea, and pelvic mass during puberty, shortly after menarche. These patients may be treated successfully with a minimally invasive method.
Case report
We present three previously asymptomatic patients with OHVIRA syndrome who presented with acute abdomen shortly after menarche. These patients were treated with a minimally invasive method.
Conclusion
Patients with OHVIRA syndrome may be treated with minimally invasive method after definitive diagnosis and, laparoscopy and laparotomy should be avoided as much as possible. Minimally invasive treatment modality is not only cost-effective, but also provides symptomatic relief and preserves fertility.
