Combined congenital absence of the vagina and cervix. Diagnosis with magnetic resonance imaging and surgical management.
The combination of congenital absence of the cervix and vagina is an extremely infrequent anatomic abnormality. We report a patient in whom this combination was diagnosed preoperatively by magnetic resonance imaging and managed surgically in a two-stage procedure using a modified McIndoe vaginoplasty followed by the creation of a uterovaginal fistula.
