Cervical and vaginal agenesis – A rare case report
Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Cervical agenesis is a very rare condition often associated with atresia of vagina. Clinical diagnosis is usually difficult before surgery. Transverse vaginal septum or vaginal agenesis is also a rare condition that results from incomplete fusion between vaginal components of the mullerian ducts and urogenital sinus. Here we presented case of 16 years old girl who presented with primary amenorrhea and cyclical lower abdominal pain for 6 months. Abdomino-pelvic scan showed hematometra with bilateral hematosalpinx with mild free fluid in pouch of Douglas with collapsed vagina and cervix. MRI pelvis confirmed USG findings giving differential diagnosis of high vaginal septum or cervical agenesis. She was operated for cervical recanalization and vaginoplasty.
