ABSTRACT: Background: Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) is a rare type of female reproduction tract malformation, often accompanied by abnormal development of the ipsilateral urinary system, which shows mostly double uterus and the absence of the kidney on the oblique side. Case Report: An 11-year-old patient presented with lower abdominal distension and pain for 2 days and was suspected of vaginal haematoma. Conclusion: Ipsilateral renal agenesis was confirmed by ultrasound during hospitalization, and the diagnoses of obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly syndrome were established. The aim of this study was to present the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in HWWS, and to draw attention to the challenges in its diagnosis, which can coexist with multiple complications.
