Abstract

The complete, imperforate transverse vaginal septum is one of the rare anomalies of the female reproductive tract. This anomaly is a disorder of vertical fusion of the Müllerian ducts and can present with or without obstruction. It has been classified as Type IIA as per the American Fertility Society (AFS) classification. Its thickness and site varies in the vaginal canal; the upper and middle third septa are common. The diagnosis can be made in newborns, infants, and adolescent girls. It is found associated with urological anomalies, anorectal malformation (ARM), and bicornuate uterus. We present a case of a 13-year-old girl with hematometrocolpos due to an imperforate complete low vaginal septum, left-sided vesico-ureteric reflux (VUR), and ectopic anus (low ARM).
