In this case report we described a a case of ultra-rare Mullerian anomaly associated with renal agenesia in a syndromic framework of Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome in a 15 years old patient who complained dysmenorrhea and abdominal pain. Abdominal MRI showed a 18 cm hourglass neoformation with dysomogeneous content, suspected for endometrioma. However, transrectal ultrasound showed the presence of didelphys uterus, a single vagina and two cervices. After a pre-operatory echo-guided operative hysteroscopy, that was unable to drain the hematometra because of the presence of a deep fibrotic septum, a mini-Pfannensteil abdominal laparotomy was performed. The hematometra was drained by hysterotomy and the septum was excised trought the cervix to create a continuity with the vagina. The post-operative period was uneventful, and the patient is now under regular follow-up. We underline the need of multidisciplinary counselling for those complex cases where the genetician, gynecologist, urologist should work together for the need and expectations of the patients.

Abstract
In this case report we described a a case of ultra-rare Mullerian anomaly associated with renal agenesia in a syndromic framework of Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome in a 15 years old patient who complained dysmenorrhea and abdominal pain. Abdominal MRI showed a 18 cm hourglass neoformation with dysomogeneous content, suspected for endometrioma. However, transrectal ultrasound showed the presence of didelphys uterus, a single vagina and two cervices. After a pre-operatory echo-guided operative hysteroscopy, that was unable to drain the hematometra because of the presence of a deep fibrotic septum, a mini-Pfannensteil abdominal laparotomy was performed. The hematometra was drained by hysterotomy and the septum was excised trought the cervix to create a continuity with the vagina. The post-operative period was uneventful, and the patient is now under regular follow-up. We underline the need of multidisciplinary counselling for those complex cases where the genetician, gynecologist, urologist should work together for the need and expectations of the patients.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
