Septate uterus with cervical duplication and a longitudinal vaginal septum: a müllerian anomaly without a classification.
OBJECTIVE
To report a rare uterine anomaly of a septate uterus, double cervix, and double vagina.


METHODS
Case report.


METHODS
A university-based reproductive endocrinology center.


METHODS
A 20-year-old nulligravida with primary infertility.


METHODS
Clinical examination and surgical resection of a vaginal septum with hysteroscopic examination of both hemicavities.


METHODS
Description and treatment for a rare uterine anomaly and a subsequent literature search.


RESULTS
Successful resection of vaginal septum and subsequent spontaneous pregnancy.


CONCLUSIONS
This rare anomaly is not explained by classic embryologic teaching and is not described by the classification system currently used to describe müllerian anomalies.
