ABSTRACT

El síndrome de Herlyn Werner Wünderlich (SHWW) se caracteriza por la triada útero didelfo, hemivagina obstruida y agenesia renal homolateral; fue descrito en 1976. Es una entidad poco conocida en ginecología; se debe a una alteración de la fusión de los conductos de Müller y la estrecha relación del origen embrionario de los aparatos genital y urinario. Su diagnóstico es tardío ya que los síntomas inician generalmente después de la menarquia y su intensidad puede variar. Su tratamiento se sustenta en el correcto diagnóstico y la correspondiente resolución quirúrgica. La resección del tabique uterino mejora, generalmente, las condiciones de la paciente y el pronóstico, pudiendo lograrse la gestación. (AU)


Herlyn-Werner-Wünderlich is a syndrome characterized by the triad of uterus didelphys, obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. It is an uncommon müllerian ducts congenital anomaly, affecting the urogenital tract because of the close embryonic origin of the urogenital system. Its diagnosis is of late onset because symptoms appear after the menarche and the intensity of the symptoms varies among patients. Treatment is based on a proper and timely diagnosis, as well as a surgical correction of the defects. A resection of the uterine septum generally improves the symptoms and creates a favorable future prognosis, making an intrauterine pregnancy possible. We present a case of a 22-year old female patient with delayed diagnosis of Herlyn-Werner-Wünderlich syndrome, with no hemivaginal septum, whose chief complaints were dysmenorrhea and recurring purulent vaginal discharge despite unsuccessful surgical interventions. A mini laparotomy Strassman metroplasty was performed, resolving her symptomatology. (AU)
