“…The female genital system develops from the paired Mullerian ducts and in close association with the urinary system and hindgut. 7 Transverse Vaginal Septum is a type of vertical fusion defect arising from fusion of urogenital sinus and paramesonephric ducts. Delaunay first described the transverse vaginal septum in 1877.…”

A 30-year-old woman presented with dyspareunia and infertility and was referred to after failure to visualize cervix during diagnostic laparoscopy by her primary consultant. Preoperative MRI was done which showed mild arcuate uterus with minimum fluid in vaginal cavity with vertical vaginal septum. This was managed successfully by a combined laparoscopic and vaginal approach. She conceived spontaneously and delivered a healthy term baby by caesarean section. Upper thick Transverse Vaginal Septum is a complex congenital malformation posing challenges for its correction, restoring normal healthy sex life and conception. The septum varies in thickness and may be located anywhere along the vagina reducing the functional length of the vagina. Identifying and dissecting the anatomic structures is greatly aided by panoramic view of laparoscope allowing the surgeon to have an increased degree of freedom during surgery.

“…A vaginal septum results from incomplete fusion of the separating tissue between the fused Müllerian ducts and the urogenital sinus [1] . This is estimated to occur to 1 per 30,000-84,000 women [2] . It occurs in any portion of the vagina and can be transverse, longitudinal, or oblique.…”

Transverse vaginal septa are relatively rare anomalies. It has been shown to occur at different depths within the vagina. It results from vertical fusion or canalization disorder between the vaginal components of Müllerian ducts and urogenital sinus during embryological development of the vagina and can present with or without obstruction. The condition was initially described by Delaunay in 1877. The authors describe a rare case of a middle-aged female with Down's syndrome, presented with secondary amenorrhea for 3 years. Initial examination and imaging investigation revealed the presence of a transverse vaginal septum. The diagnosis was facilitated using a combination of abdominal and transvaginal ultrasound scanning and CT. And it has been revealed that she has a high rising microperforate transverse vaginal septum. Surgery and follow up was also done.

“…Normally this resorption occurs around the fifth month of gestation. The prevalence of transverse vaginal septum is reported to be 1 in 30,000 to 1 in 84,000 [1] and it was first described by Delaunay in 1877 [2].…”

Background: The complete or imperforate transverse vaginal septum is a rare anomaly of the female reproductive tract. Its site varies in the vaginal canal. The common sites are upper and middle third of the vagina, the low transverse vaginal septum is very rare. It is found in association with urological anomalies and anorectal malformation as well as other Mullerian anomalies especially bicornuate uterus. Case Report: We report a case of a 13-year-old girl with hematometra, hematocolpos and hematosalpinx due to an imperforate complete low vaginal septum. Conclusion: Hematosalpinx presence adversely affects the fertility and obstetric outcomes in the patient. MRI is important diagnostic modality that helps in deciding the management and so as predicting future outcome.
