Trial of labor in women with transverse vaginal septa.
BACKGROUND
Transverse vaginal septa are rare anomalies that may be first diagnosed during pregnancy. Management options including elective cesarean delivery, incision before labor, and a trial of labor have been proposed.


METHODS
Two patients with transverse vaginal septa were allowed a trial of labor. The septa were incised in active labor, resulting in vaginal delivery with no related complications.


CONCLUSIONS
Allowing a trial of labor despite a transverse vaginal septum is a reasonable management option in selected cases.
