RESUMO
@#Herlyn Werner Wunderlich Syndrome is a rare congenital Mullerian anomaly that commonly presents with uterine didelphys, obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. Presented here is a rare variant with contralateral dysplastic kidney with ectopic ureteral insertion instead of renal agenesis. The patient initially presented as a case of recurrent pelvic inflammatory disease who eventually underwent excision of vaginal septum with drainage of pyocolpos. Postoperatively, the patient had urinary incontinence and was eventually referred to Urology for further surgical intervention. The wide range of symptomatology and the uncommon anatomic presentation of this case led to the delay in the diagnosis and the consequent gynecologic complications.
RESUMO
Diseases related to the urogenital system in both males and females, are common in clinical routine of smallanimal and represents important causes of morbidity and mortality in dogs and cats. Pyocolpos is a cysticdilatation of the vagina due to the accumulation of pus resulting from the genital tract obstruction. The maincause of obstruction is imperforate hymen, transverse vaginal membrane, or vaginal atresia.We present a caseof a three-year-old female Pinscher with a history of constipation for four days, even after administration oflaxatives and enema, and estrus for ten days without a report of cover. Physical examinations were performed,which revealed increased abdominal size. Ultrasound confirmed the presence of large amounts of vaginal fluid.Exploratory laparotomy was performed, which confirmed the diagnosis of pyocolpos. Although pyocolposis a rare congenital malformation in female domestic animals, this report of its existence underscores theimportance of more accurate clinical research when increased abdominal size is noted by veterinarians.
