Obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly (OHVIRA) syndrome presents with complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenges and is characterized by uterine didelphys, obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal anomaly. A 14-year-old female with a history of anorectal malformation and urogenital sinus anomaly presented with menstrual blood in her urine, abdominal pain, and distension. Investigations revealed a bicornuate uterus, vesicovaginal fistula, and right ovarian cyst, leading to the diagnosis of OHVIRA syndrome. A multidisciplinary approach resulted in salpingo-oophorectomy and subtotal hysterectomy. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges and emphasizes the role of advanced imaging and a multidisciplinary team in managing such complex conditions. It stresses the importance of patient-centered surgical planning tailored to the individual's anatomy and reproductive goals. Early recognition and a tailored, multidisciplinary approach are crucial in managing OHVIRA syndrome and improving outcomes for patients with rare congenital anomalies.
