Abstract:
Patients with an imperforate transverse vaginal septum typically present in adolescence with primary amenorrhea and require surgical correction. Pregnancy in these women is associated with a high spontaneous abortion rate, but no association with incompetent cervix has been reported. We describe a patient with a high transverse vaginal septum and a short cervix requiring transabdominal cerclage.
