A 10-year-old intact female Yorkshire Terrier weighing 3.35\u202fkg was presented with anorexia, depression, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Radiography, ultrasonography, and computed tomography revealed uterine didelphys, obstructed hemivagina, a cystic structure around the right uterus, and right renal agenesis, leading to the diagnosis of OHVIRA syndrome. An ovariohysterectomy and decompression of the obstructed right hemivagina were performed, and the cystic structure near the right uterine horn was removed by <jats:italic>en bloc<\/jats:italic> resection, along with the right uterus and ovary. After the surgical intervention, the patient\u2019s symptoms including abdominal pain, anorexia, and depression were immediately resolved. The patient was followed up for 1\u202fmonth postoperatively with ultrasonography at 2-week intervals, which revealed the progression of mild fluid retention in the right hemivagina. However, no additional urogenital findings were identified, and the patient continued to exhibit no overt clinical symptoms. This case report describes the diagnosis and surgical treatment of the first documented case of OHVIRA syndrome in an animal. Unlike in human medicine, where vaginal septectomy is performed to prevent dilatation of the obstructed hemivagina and thereby resolve clinical symptoms, performing ovariohysterectomy combined with fluid aspiration from the obstructed hemivagina showed a favorable postoperative prognosis in the dog.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2024.1488107","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,23]],"date-time":"2024-12-23T12:57:12Z","timestamp":1734958632000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Diagnosis and surgical treatment of obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly in a dog: a case report"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Younwoo","family":"Choo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jun-Sik","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ah-Young","family":"Cha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hwi-Yool","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jung-Moon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3667","DOI":"10.1016\/j.radcr.2024.05.076","article-title":"A rare case of OHVIRA (obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly) syndrome: case report","volume":"19","author":"Bezabih","year":"2024","journal-title":"Radiol Case Rep"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"364","DOI":"10.51253\/pafmj.v71i1.3740","article-title":"Herlyn\u2013Werner\u2013Wunderlich syndrome-role of imaging in timely and correct diagnosis","volume":"71","author":"Ullah","year":"2021","journal-title":"Pak Armed Forces Med J"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e8661","DOI":"10.1002\/ccr3.8661","article-title":"Vaginoscopic resection of hemivagina, in a 20-year-old virgin female with prior misdiagnosis of OHVIRA syndrome as a bicornuate uterus: a case report","volume":"12","author":"Haghgoo","year":"2024","journal-title":"Clin Case Rep"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"657","DOI":"10.1007\/s00247-007-0497-y","article-title":"Herlyn\u2013Werner\u2013Wunderlich syndrome: uterus didelphys, blind hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis.
