Abstract

Obstructed hemivagina with ipsilateral renal agenesis (OHVIRA) syndrome is a rare congenital malformation of the Mullerian duct. We report on a 34-year-old female who presented to the emergency department for cramping lower abdominal pain and pelvic pressure with vaginal spotting. Physical exam showed marked swelling in the right adnexa, and laboratory exams were within normal limits except for positive Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) status. Transvaginal ultrasound revealed 3 well circumscribed, round hypoechoic complex cystic lesions with arterial doppler detected within the peripheral walls. Magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen and pelvis showed a right hemivagina, right hematosalpinx, right hematometra and right renal agenesis, compatible with OHVIRA syndrome. The patient was informed of elective surgical procedure but was unable to undergo surgery at this time secondary to COVID status. The patient was therefore recommended oral contraceptive therapy for suppression of menses and protection of endometrial lining.
