TRANSVERSE VAGINAL SEPTUM DIAGNOSED DURING LABOR: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Transverse vaginal septum is a rare congenital utero vaginal anomaly with a frequency of 1 in 70,000 females. This septum is a membrane of fibrous connective tissue. The patients usually have normal hymenal opening. These septa may be without an opening (complete or obstructed) or may have a small central aperture (incomplete or non-obstructed). They are usually found in the mid-vagina but may occur at any level. This defect presumably is caused by failure of absorption of the tissue that separates the two, or by failure of complete fusion of the two embryologic components of the vagina. A high index of suspicion is necessary to diagnose this type of disorder. Gynecologists should be aware of the possibility of transverse vaginal septum in women in labor who become pregnant from a small central aperture. In the present study, we describe a case of untreated transverse vaginal septum with small central aperture diagnosed during labor with successful pregnancy outcome.
