Abstract

Objective: To review a case of concomitant longitudinal uterocervicovaginal septum and imperforate hymen.

Setting: A university-based tertiary care center.

Patient(s): A 14-year-old girl with a septum spanning the length of the uterus, cervix, and upper two-thirds of the vagina, as well as an imperforate hymen.

Intervention(s): Hymenotomy with subsequent vaginal septoplasty.

Main outcome measure(s): NA.

Result(s): NA.

Conclusion(s): Anatomic anomalies of the reproductive tract may be found in tandem and when suspected, a full evaluation including advanced imaging to clearly delineate the exact anatomy, should be performed before proceeding with surgical correction.
