Abstract
Cervical agenesis is a rare congenital pathology linked to an anomaly of development of the Mullerian system. We described a case report about a 22-year old woman, consulting for infertility, who had a complete cervical agenesis. The first evaluation suggested a 46Â XX karyotype and a normal ovarian reserve. The surgical examination confirmed the absence of cervix with impossibility of catheterization. She became pregnant thanks to an in vitro fertilization (IVF) with transmyometrial embryo transfer. Caesarean was decided at 36Â weeks of gestation (WG) due to spontaneous uterine contractions. An injection of medroxyprogesterone was made after the placenta delivery in order to warning the partum hemorrhage. The ultrasound examination, realized 15Â days after caesarean, underlined a good uterine involution. The surgery by cervico-vaginal anastomosis can be offered to patients because it offers chances of spontaneous pregnancies. But this surgery exposes women to a risk of failure, and of severe complications such as pain or infection, and might end in a hysterectomy. By choosing the transmyometrial transfer by vaginal way, the patient was exposed to the risk of spontaneous miscarriage. It was raising the problem of the uterine evacuation. This delivery after 34Â WG is encouraging for the infertility by cervical agenesis.
