Introduction: Uterus didelphys with obstructed hemivagina associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis (OHVIRA syndrome) is a rare female urogenital malformation and delay in its diagnosis could lead to several complications. Case presentation: A 21-year-old virgin woman was admitted to the emergency department (ED) with severe abdominal pain, without fever and vaginal discharge. She reported a history of cyclic abdominopelvic pain and dysmenorrhea for 5 years. The primary diagnosis (OHVIRA syndrome) was made using ultrasonography, spiral computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In addition, laparoscopy was performed to confirm diagnosis and drain hematosalpinx. Then, hysteroscopy was carried out for septum resection and catheter insertion. At one-month follow-up the ultrasonography showed normal left hemicavity of uterus associated with significant decrease in dysmenorrhea. Conclusion: Being aware of OHVIRA syndrome and clinical suspicion of this rare anomaly are essential for making a timely diagnosis, preventing complications, relieving symptoms, and preserving future fertility.

ABSTRACT The triad of uterus didelphys with obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis (OHVIRA) syndrome is a rare entity. These cases are difficult to diagnose due to heterogeneous presentation and rarity of the condition. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging are important for initial diagnosis; however, laparoscopy is required for the confirmation of the diagnosis. Early and accurate diagnosis of this condition followed by prompt surgical therapy is essential to prevent complications and to preserve future fertility. Here we report a case of uterus didelphys with hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis with hematometra and hematosalpinx in a young girl.

Herlyn–Werner–Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) is a rare syndrome in clinical practice in which there is a combination of complete uterus didelphys and OHVIRA syndrome (obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis). HWWS refers to associative defects of the reproductive and urinary systems and occurs due to anomalies in the development of the Müllerian ducts. The review part of the article presents questions of its epidemiology, and provides historical information. The clinical picture, methods of examination and treatment are considered. Particular attention is paid to the difficulty of diagnosing HWWS and the need for its early diagnosis in order to preserve the reproductive health of girls. A clinical case of a 17-year-old patient with HWWS diagnosed during urgent laparoscopy, the complication of which was hematopiocolpos, is presented. The patient was referred to a level 3 hospital for specialized medical care, where she was operated on.

OHVIRA syndrome or Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly of female urogenital tract which is represented by the triad of uterine didelphys, obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. This rare variant of Müllerian duct anomalies represent failure of vertical and the lateral fusion of Müllerian ducts around 9 weeks of gestation. OHVIRA syndrome comprises about 2-3% of Müllerian abnormalities. A 13 years old girl got admission in FMCH on 15.3.2018 with lower abdominal pain and acute retention of urine. Her menarche was established 6 months back with regular cycle and associated with dysmenorrhoea. Imaging studies revealed uterine didelphys, highly dilated cervix with hematocolpos and absence of right kidney. The vaginal septum was excised. The patient recovered fully and was under follow up for 6 months. There was no evidence of further outflow tract obstruction. Faridpur Med. Coll. J. Jan 2019;14(1): 54-56

Ohvira syndrome is rare complex anomaly consisting of uterus didelphys, unilateral ipsilateral obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. It typically presents with dysmenorrhea or pelvic pain shortly after menarche due to collection of secretions in the uterus. Reporting a case of 32 years unmarried nulligravida lady with complaints of pain abdomen since 20 days with history of similar complaints 15 years bac. Patient was on Inj. DMPA 2 years back. On examination upper limb skeletal deformity-left radial hemimelia present with a mass of 14-16 weeks gravid uterus on per abdomen examination. USG (February 2020), was suggestive of uterus didelphys bicollis with collection of 108 cc noted in the right uterine cavity with right kidney agenesis with obscured right ovary. Total abdominal hysterectomy with left salphingo-oopherectomy was done. Specimen features were suggestive of uterus didelphys bicornis bicollis with right uterus hematometra with right cervix blind with right sided blind vagina with features suggestive of Ohvira syndrome.

Background: Cerebellar liponeurocytoma is an extremely rare benign tumor which generally occurs in cerebellum and is almost always solitary. Multifocal cerebellar liponeurocytoma is exceedingly rare, only 8 cases has been reported so far. Herein we present the 9th case of multifocal cerebellar liponeurocytoma in a 70-year-old woman with the complete clinical course and comprehensive imaging findings.Case Presentation: A 70-year-old woman presented with a history of intermittent headache for 5 years. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain have been performed and suggested a diagnosis of teratoma based on the imaging findings. After the surgical resection of the lesion, histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses revealed neuronal, glial, and lipomatous components and confirmed the diagnosis of multifocal cerebellar liponeurocytoma after surgical resection. During the 2-year follow-up period, the patient showed no signs of recurrence or metastasis.Conclusion: We described the radiological characteristics and clinical course of an exceedingly rare case of multifocal cerebellar liponeurocytoma in the cerebellar vermis and temporal lobe. The clear multifocality makes this case unusual.

Abstract Background Angiomyolipomas are rare mesenchymal tumours arising from the perivascular epithelioid cells consisting of variable amounts of adipose, thick-walled blood vessels and smooth muscle cells. These benign tumours commonly occur in the kidney with only a few case reports of adrenal angiomyolipomas which have the potential to reach a large size and haemorrhage. Case presentation A 45-year-old lady presented with a 3-week history of right loin pain, nausea and vomiting. A CT scan revealed a right adrenal angiomyolipoma measuring 6.3 × 6.8 cm with associated haemorrhage. The lesion was successfully treated with right open adrenalectomy, and histology confirmed the diagnosis of adrenal angiomyolipoma. The patient remained well with no evidence of recurrence at the 36-month follow-up. Conclusion Adrenal angiomyolipomas are rare benign tumours that have the ability to reach a large size and potential to bleed. Here, we report the second case of spontaneous haemorrhage in an adrenal angiomyolipoma, which was successfully treated with open adrenalectomy.

Abstract Background The natural course of a vortex vein varix, though not well understood, has been known to remain stable. However, here we report a novel case of a vortex vein varix that resolved after an extended period of monitoring. Case presentation An asymptomatic 96-year-old Caucasian man was found to have a vortex vein varix. At his previous examination 13 months prior, his fundus was normal. At 13 months of observation, his vortex vein varix become clinically undetectable. Further follow-up confirmed continued absence of the varix. Conclusion This case demonstrates the development then clinical resolution of a vortex vein varix with no clear identifiable factors for its evolution. This case is novel and offers new insight into the natural history of some vortex vein varices, implicating venous congestion as an instigator and venous collateralization as its alleviator, suggesting that vortex vein varices are likely more common than previously reported since some may be temporary and under-identified.
