Pyometra and Pregnancy with Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich Syndrome

Abstract: We describe a Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) patient with previous history of infertility who got pregnant without treatment and presented a pyometra in the contralateral uterus throughout the gestational period, despite multiple antibiotic treatments. Due to the uterus' congenital anomaly and the possibility of ascending infection with subsequent abortion, this pregnancy was classified as high-risk. We believe that the partial horizontal septum in the vagina may have contributed to the closure of th… Show more

“…No obstante, en estas pacientes se ha documentado un mayor riesgo de parto prematuro, ruptura prematura de membranas, retraso del crecimiento fetal y mala presentación del feto al momento del parto (15,28). Un útero didelfo no es indicación de parto por cesárea si no hay obstrucción del canal (29), además los embarazos en el lado de la obstrucción no son frecuentes (30). Finalmente, debe tenerse en cuenta que los exámenes pélvicos en adolescentes o mujeres virginales pueden estar significativamente limitados (15).…”
