title: Imperforate vagina with vaginourethral communication.
abstract: 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.
