Abstract EN
Background.
A transverse vaginal septum (TVS) is a rare obstructing anomaly, caused due to improper fusion of Müllerian ducts and urogenital sinus during embryogenesis.
Case.
A 15-year-old girl presented with primary amenorrhea.
She had multiple congenital anomalies.
Initial examination and imaging investigation revealed the presence of a unicornuate uterus and a TVS.
The TVS was excised; however the patient was unable to perform vaginal dilation postoperatively leading to recurrent stricture formation.
She underwent multiple surgeries for excision of the stricture.
The patient was eventually evaluated every day in the clinic until she was able to demonstrate successful vaginal dilatation in the presence of a clinician.
Summary and Conclusion.
Properly guided regular and intensive vaginal dilation after TVS excision may decrease the need of reoperations due to recurrent stricture formation.
