Abstract:
Obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly (OHVIRA) syndrome is a rare congenital genitourinary tract anomaly characterized by the triad of uterine didelphys, unilateral obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. Patients typically present with symptoms of cyclical pain after menarche. Cases are usually complex and may pose difficulties in diagnosis and management. Accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential to relieve patient symptoms and prevent complications. We present a case of OHVIRA syndrome that was successfully managed surgically.
