ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT We describe a Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) patient with previous history of infertility who got pregnant without treatment and presented a pyometra in the contralateral uterus throughout the gestational period, despite multiple antibiotic treatments. Due to the uterus' congenital anomaly and the possibility of ascending infection with subsequent abortion, this pregnancy was classified as high-risk. We believe that the partial horizontal septum in the vagina may have contributed to the closure of the gravid uterus cervix, thus ensuring that the pregnancy came to term, with an uneventful vaginal delivery.
RESUMO
RESUMO Os autores descrevem uma paciente com síndrome de Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich (SHWW) e história prévia de infertilidade, que engravidou espontaneamente. Durante todo o período gestacional apresentou, apesar da instituição de antibioticoterapia, um piometra localizado ao útero não gravídico. Devido à anomalia congênita uterina e ao risco de infeção ascendente, com possível desfecho obstétrico desfavorável, esta gravidez foi classificada de alto risco. O septo vaginal horizontal e parcial poderá ter contribuído para ausência de disseminação da infecção, permitindo que a gravidez tenha chegado a termo, com um parto vaginal, sem intercorrências.
