title: Uterus didelphys and longitudinal vaginal septum coincident with an obstructive transverse vaginal septum.
abstract: A wide variety of Müllerian anomalies has been described in the literature. Various combinations of anomalies may coexist in a single subject. Precise identification of the various components of the anomaly is paramount in choosing and planning the appropriate conservative and surgical treatment. In this report, we present a rare case of combined vertical fusion and transverse canalization defects in a single subject. A review of the literature along with an overview of the pertinent embryologic processes and management concepts for such cases are presented.
