What is OHVIRA syndrome?
The OHVIRA syndrome consists of uterus didelphys, unilateral low vaginal obstruction, and ipsilateral renal agenesis, all 3 components being secondary to mesonephric duct-induced müllerian anomalies. Treatment invariably requires surgical intervention in the form of excision of vaginal septum to relieve obstruction.
How common is OHVIRA?
A didelphic uterus with an obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis (OHVIRA) is a rare congenital anomaly constituting 0.16–10% of all Müllerian duct abnormalities described only in case reports in medical literature (Noviella et al., 2017).

What causes renal agenesis?
The cause of bilateral renal agenesis, the absence of both kidneys, is also unknown.
