The classical theory of Müllerian origin of upper vagina fails to explain complex urogenital malformations like OHVIRA syndrome; the Acien's hypothesis, however, unravels the hidden embryopathogenesis. As per Acien, Wolffian (mesonephric) ducts instead of Müllerian ducts and sinovaginal bulbs, give rise to the vagina. The new hypothesis, however, retains the concept of origin of the ureters (with ureters inducing renal development) by the former and the uterus by Müllerian ducts. Thus, a failure of development of mesonephros/mesonephric duct gives rise to absent ureters and hence absent homolateral kidney; blind ending (obstructed) ipsilateral hemivagina and cessation of support to paramesonephric ducts which leads to unfused uterus (uterus didelphys). Hence, the new hypothesis explains all components of OHVIRA syndrome. On a parallel track, unilateral anomalous development of the mesonephros in males causes atresia of the homolateral ejaculatory duct that results in obstruction of the proximally placed seminal vesicle. Besides, there is absence of the ipsilateral kidney (Zinner syndrome).
