The aim of this study was to present a new case of congenital Herlyn–Werner–Wunderlich syndrome, a rare anomaly of the female reproductive tract, and review the related literature. A 12-year-old girl presented with severe dysmenorrhea since menarche and magnetic resonance imaging showing a bicornuate uterus, double cervix, right hematometra, and hematosalpinx with ipsilateral renal agenesis, accompanied by a remnant distal ureter with hydroureter. A diagnostic cystoscopy and a reduced-port robot-assisted laparoscopy with chromopertubation were performed in order to identify the anomaly. Uterine didelphys and right cervical dysgenesis with ipsilateral vaginal agenesis, cervical distal ureteral remnant fistula, ureterocele, and renal agenesis were diagnosed on the basis of histopathologic findings, and she subsequently underwent a robotic unilateral right total hysterectomy with salpingectomy. This case report reinforces the importance of the intraoperative biopsy for an accurate diagnosis, despite magnetic resonance imaging being considered the gold-standard diagnostic tool.

Robert’s uterus is an asymmetric septate uterus with a noncommunicating cavity and is a rare Müllerian anomaly. We present a rare case of pregnancy in a blind cavity and the first report of ipsilateral renal agenesis. A 23-year-old primigravida woman presented to our hospital at 7 weeks and 3 days of gestation after an abortion had failed. Three-dimensional ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging showed pregnancy in a blind hemi-cavity of Robert’s uterus with an ipsilateral renal anomaly. Surgery was performed by hysteroscopy with laparoscopic and ultrasound guidance. The pregnancy was removed and the asymmetric septum was resected. A single normal uterine cavity with bilateral tubal ostium remained. The treatment was considered to be satisfactory. Menstruation ceased to be painful and the uterus was not scarred. Robert’s uterus can be well evaluated by an experienced ultrasound physician and magnetic resonance imaging. Such patients may have renal agenesis and the urinary system must be simultaneously evaluated. Pregnancy in a blind hemi-cavity is extremely rare and easily ignored by gynecologists and sonographers. Timely and accurate diagnosis of this condition is essential to obtain minimally invasive treatment.
