ABSTRACT

Premenarchial Transverse vaginal septum is a benign condition. The septum may be found in the upper, middle or lower vagina.

A case report of a premenarchial girl with transverse vaginal septum managed at the university college hospital, Ibadan, in January 2009.Diagnosis was made following a history of primary amenorrhea, cyclical low abdominal pain and pelvic examination which revealed a vaginal septum. She had surgical resection of the vaginal septum and a vaginal stent was left in-situ to keep the vagina patent during the healing process. The procedure was uneventful and she was able to achieve menstrual flow following surgery. Follow up visits were essentially unremarkable.
