Abstract:
Wunderlich-Herlyn-Werner syndrome is an uncommon but already well-established mullerian anomaly consisting of uterine didelphys, hemivaginal septum and ipsilateral renal agenesis. The discussion here would concentrate on the occurrence of foul-smelling vaginal discharge in some of these cases, its pathogenesis and its impact on generally-accepted assumptions on the embryogenesis of the mullerian system. Reported here are three such cases with discussions on the goals of therapy being relief of the obstructive symptoms, restoration of normal menstrual egress and sexual function, with preservation of reproductive potential.
