KW - Transverse vaginal septum, Mullerian anomalies
AB - Transverse vaginal septum is a rare Mullerian duct anomaly presenting for the first time in pregnancy and
labor. A 24-year-old primigravida presented at 39 weeks gestation. Speculum examination revealed a thick
transverse vaginal septum with a pinpoint opening in the upper aspect. Elective cesarean section was done
followed by digital perforation and dilatation of the septum. The postoperative period was uneventful. At
six week follow up there was no restenosis or scarring of the vagina. To avoid complications like obstructed
labor and laceration of vagina prophylactic cesarean section is advocated when the thickness of the septum
cannot be ascertained on clinical examination.
