Objectives: To present a case of an apparently perforated transverse vaginal septum (rare anomaly of Mullerian duct) which later showed evidence of obstruction during the course of management. Case report: 30 year old primigravida, with apparently perforated septum, however; post-operatively of her caesarean section, she had complaints consistent with imperforated septum. She was managed by dilatation and insertion of Foley's catheter that successfully maintained the opening of the septum on follow up. Conclusion: Our case is rare since the pre-operative history indicated a perforated septum that became occluded post-operatively. There are very few reports of such conditions, and no clear explanation based on evidence. The proposed hypothesis is obstruction of micro-perforation by blood and tissue debris.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
