“…Pathogenesis of HWW syndrome is very complex, involving the maldevelopment of both Mullerian and Wolfian ducts in genetically female-determined embryos [8 , 9] . In female embryos, the Mullerian ducts have the essential role of developing the internal female genitalia, including the fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and two-thirds of the upper portion of the vagina.…”

“…In exploring the diagnostic approaches for prenatal assessment, this study primarily focused on the US. It is important to note, however, that prenatal MRI is a valuable noninvasive technique that may offer enhanced mass characterization, identify potential complications, and can be crucial in some complex cases where the US may provide limited information [ 16 ]. It can be useful also for precise preoperative assessment of these cystic masses, offering significant advantages, particularly in the identification of complications such as hemorrhages [ 6 , 15 ].…”

“…Moreover, any surgical intervention must consider the increased risk of complications due to pregnancy-induced physiological changes, such as increased blood volume and coagulation factors. Surgical intervention during pregnancy should be avoided unless demanded by emergency; as far as possible, management should be limited to observation in the first and also second trimester [ [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] ]. In the present case, the surgical intervention was performed following the preterm cesarean section, carried out to prevent the worsening of maternal complications associated with increased intracranial pressure.…”
