Combined abdominal-perineal sonography to assist in diagnosis of transverse vaginal septum.
BACKGROUND
Transperineal sonography has been used to detect incompetent cervices, placenta previa, cervical pregnancy, and vaginal and cervical atresia.


METHODS
Transperineal sonography was used to investigate primary amenorrhea in a 14-year-old girl. A mid-transverse septum was found and confirmed surgically.


CONCLUSIONS
Transperineal or translabial sonography assisted in the differentiation of primary amenorrhea, when adequate vaginal access was prohibited.
