Description
Congenital atresia of the cervix is a rare mullerian anomaly. Hysterectomy has been advocated as the management of choice in the early days as the reproductive performance is thought to be low despite successful neo-canal creation. In recent years, conservative surgery is being recommended more frequently in patients with congenital cervical atresia and with total or partial vaginal aplasia and is shown to have a better reproductive performance. The treatment strategy should be tailored to relieve retrograde menstrual symptoms and restore fertility. Here, we report a young girl with congenital cervical atresia with upper vaginal atresia managed with uterovaginal anastomosis and review the management options and reproductive performance in such cases.
