PRIMARY AMENORRHOEA - A RARE CASE OF COMBINED CERVICO VAGINAL ATRESIA
Abstract
Mullerian anomalies are a group of disorders
with varied presentations. Cervicovaginal
atresia is one of the rare form of
mullerian anomalies that occurs in one in
every 80,000 to 100,000 births1. Primary
amenorrhea with cyclical abdominal pain
is the initial clinical presentation followed
by primary infertility. Here we report a 24
year woman with cervico vaginal atresia
presenting as primary amenorrhoea with
cyclical abdominal pain which was surgically
managed with vaginoplasty and abdominal
hysterectomy.
