Abstract

Obstructed hemivagina, ipsilateral renal anomaly (OHVIRA) is a rare Müllerian duct abnormality with renal manifestations. Classical presentation is an adolescent female with abdominal pain following menarche. Because of its rarity, diagnosis is often delayed. There have been <20 reported cases of prepubertal OHVIRA. We present a case of missed OHVIRA diagnosis that presented with continuous incontinence following incision of the obstructed hemivagina and discuss the current medical literature on this subject.
