High Transverse Vaginal Septum with Vaginal and Cervical Agenesis in a ۱۳-Year-Old Female: A Case Report

Background & aim: A vaginal septum is a condition in which the wall of the tissue dividing vagina does not resolve completely. This complication can be transverse and longitudinal. Although the occurrence of a transverse vaginal septum is ۲ per ۱۰۰,۰۰۰ births, the exact etiology of this anomaly remains still unidentified. In this study, a case of high transverse vaginal septum with vaginal and cervical agenesis is reported.Case report: A ۱۳-year-old single and virgin girl presented with cyclic abdominal pain. On examination and magnetic resonance imaging, vaginal and cervical agenesis was diagnosed. Surgical therapy included an incision in the lower part of the uterus at the site of the bulging and the use of a hysterometer passing down the uterus. The cervix was not touched, cervical agenesis was diagnosed, and the patient underwent abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral tubal salpingectomy. The pathological results confirmed the cervical agenesis.Conclusion: It is recommended that in patients with high transverse vaginal septum, hysterectomy be performed for the treatment of cervical and vaginal agenesis. However, it may not be a suitable treatment choice for some cases, and it is better to decide based on the patient's condition.
