Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome is difficult to diagnose. We report our first experience of fistula repair in HWW syndrome in Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Indonesia. A 12 years old girl presented with urinary retention, and was consulted to urology because the urethral meatus could not be found. MRI showed two separate uteri, cervices, and vaginas. Complete separation of vagina and urethra was done. After 2 years follow up, the patient had no complaint. HWW syndrome should be suspected in cases with pelvic pain or urinary retention during menarche period among teenagers and neonatal cases with any renal malformation.
