Imperforate vagina with vaginourethral communication.
Six female children are described with an unusual congenital anomaly characterized by imperforate vagina with otherwise normal external genitalia as well as communication between the proximal patent vagina and a normal female urethra. This abnormality was associated with hydrometrocolpos at birth in two patients. The anomaly may embryologically be related to the primitive urogenital sinus.
