[Female hypospadias. Apropos of 3 cases].
Female hypospadias (FH) is a rare congenital abnormality caracterised by total or partial agenesy of uretero-vaginal septum. We report there cases of this anomaly. In one case, FH was isolated. In the others two, it was associated with other genital abnormalities. The diagnosis was established in adult age. Urinary incontinence is the most constant revealing symptom. Treatment consists of an uretral reconstruction using the anterior wall of vagina. In one case, associated vaginal atresia was treated during the same operation. Perfect continence and good bladder emptying was noted in two cases. One patient had been reoperated to perfect the continence.
