Summary:A double uterus with a unilaterally obstructed hemivagina is a rare condition, usually associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis. Herein, we report two cases, the first case presenting with abdominal pain and pelvic mass. Hemihysterectomy was performed leaving the contralateral uterus intact. The second case presented with chronic foul smelling vaginal discharge. The diagnosis was a double uterus and pyocolpos of the left vagina. Excision of the left vaginal septum and drainage were performed. The postoperative course of both cases was uneventful and the patients were well at the six-week follow-up. An accurate diagnosis, appropriate management and the prevention of future fertility problems are discussed.
