The Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich triad (OHVIRA syndrome) with good pregnancy outcome - two cases and literature review.

We describe the sixth case of didelphys uterus with unique (anatomically normal) vagina and unilateral isolated hemicervix hypoplasia∕atresia. Imaging has a paramount importance in the diagnosis of HWWS∕OHVIRA, with magnetic resonance (MR) usually superseding the ultrasound (US) method, and providing other viscera details. US, MR and laparoscopy∕laparotomy complement each other, and for describing the anatomy of the obstruction a thorough clinical examination is required. The clinical course of the pathology is not standard and the management must be tailored, but term∕near-term pregnancies resulting in healthy newborns are possible in HWWS. We advocate an appropriate maternal and fetal prenatal care and long-term follow-up. PMID: 30845309 [PubMed - in process]
