PURPOSE DESCRIBE CLINICAL MANAGEMENT OF CONGENITAL VAGINAL
MALFORMATIONS
In gynecologic congenital malformations, transverse septum vaginal malformations are infrequent.
They occurs because fusion defect in embryological development of vagina. The etiology is un-
known, prevalence 1 in 3000 to 84000 women, it can be in proximal third (46%), medial (40%) and
distal (14%).
Clinically, it can manifest in the antenatal or neonatal time, as a severe hematocolpos, but is more
frecuent in the pubertal age, with primary amenorrhea, abdominal pain and pelvic mass.
The imagen study include, abdominal and pelvic ultrasound, CT or MRI, for study the thickness and
location of the vaginal septum.
The surgical approach,can be, Laparotomy, genital endoscopy, genital or sagittal prerectal perineal,
for resect the vaginal septum; and could be necessary more surgical procedures in the time, per-
haps the clinical evolution, as scar and vaginal stenosis.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
For the study we have done a retrospective review of the clincal records with vaginal malformation
in the pediatric surgery unit, from 2010 to 2016, previously accepted the hospital ethics clinical
committee.
We describe the clinical presentation,imaging study, age of surgery, surgical access, thickness of
septum, biopsy and clinical follow up.
RESULTS
The are five clinical cases of vaginal congenital malformations, with transverse septum,4 distal and
1 medium, with age between 4 and 13 years. All have been studied with ultrasound and surgical
resolved by vaginal perineal acces in 4, and sagital prerectal 1; In all cases biopsy confirm the
diagnosis of vaginal septum with 4 mm average thickness.
The follow up have been 47 month, two of them are with vaginal dilatation.
CONCLUSIONS
The vaginal congenital malformations are an spectrum, her clinical pesquiza must be suspected
and surgical manegment should be individualized, and is important the long time follow up.
