- Abstract: Herlyn Werner Wunderlich Syndrome is a rare congenital Mullerian anomaly that commonly presents with uterine didelphys, obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. Presented here is a rare variant with contralateral dysplastic kidney with ectopic ureteral insertion instead of renal agenesis. The patient initially presented as a case of recurrent pelvic inflammatory disease who eventually underwent excision of vaginal septum with drainage of pyocolpos. Postoperatively, the patient had urinary incontinence and was eventually referred to Urology for further surgical intervention. The wide range of symptomatology and the uncommon anatomic presentation of this case led to the delay in the diagnosis and the consequent gynecologic complications.
