Obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly (OHVIRA), or Herlyn–Werner–Wunderlich syndrome, is a rare Müllerian duct anomaly that is characterized by a triad of uterus didelphys, unilateral obstructed vagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. Patients with this anomaly usually present after menarche with abdominal pain or a pelvic mass which worsens over some time. Herein, presented is a case of a 12‑year‑old nulligravid with cyclic pelvic pain and palpable pelvic mass after her menarche. A series of diagnostic tests were done which were compatible with the diagnosis of OHVIRA with an associated finding of ectopic ureteral insertion into the obstructed hemivagina and nonfunctional urinary bladder. The patient underwent diagnostic hysteroscopy, cystoscopy, and full resection of the longitudinal vaginal septum as well as drainage of hematocolpos, which are the main treatment of the patient with OHVIRA.

Presented are the first two reported cases of patients who underwent ovarian tissue vitrification in the Philippines. One case is a 22 year old nulligravid diagnosed with invasive Ductal Carcinoma Stage IIIA of the right breast (status post Modified Radical Mastectomy), and advised to undergo systemic chemotherapy with Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide. The other case is a 34 year old primary infertility patient, diagnosed with Non-keratinizing Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Cervix. Stage 1B2, and was advised neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy with concurrent radiotherapy and brachytherapy. Both women are desirous of pregnancy and so underwent ovarian tissue cryopreservation prior to medical management of their condition, to preserve future reproduction.
