Abstract
Introduction

Herlyn–Werner–Wünderlich syndrome is a uterine malformation characterized by uterus didelphys, obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis.

The manifestation of the disease is widely diverse; it is usually diagnosed after menarche, with dysmenorrhea and abnormal uterine bleeding; it is also associated with infertility.

Main diagnosis

Four clinical cases, their diagnosis are reported here.

Therapeutic interventions and results

The treatment and results of these four patients are described here.

The hysteroscopy resection of the longitudinal vaginal septum in those symptomatic patients with hematocolpos should be considered as a good option for treatment.
