ABSTRACT
Background: Cervical agenesis with vaginal agenesis is an extremely rare congenital anomaly. This mullerian anomaly occurs in 1 in 80,000-100,000 births. It is classified as type IB in the American Fertility Society Classification of mullerian anomalies.
Case report: We report a case presented to POF Hospital, Wah cantt with primary amenorrhea and cyclic lower abdominal pain. She was diagnosed to have cervical agenesis associated with completely absent vagina. Conservative surgical approach to these patients involve uterovaginal anastomosis and cervical reconstruction. Creation of neovagina is necessary in these cases. Due to high failure rate and potential for complications, total hysterectomy with vaginoplasty is the treatment of choice by many authors.
Conclusion: A thorough investigation of the patients with primary amenorrhea is necessary and total hysterectomy with vaginoplasty is feasible and should be considered as a first-line treatment option in cases of cervical and vaginal agenesis.
Key words: Primary amenorrhea, Cervical agenesis, Vaginal agenesis, Hysterectomy.
