Abstract
Background: The complete or imperforate transverse vaginal septum is a rare anomaly of the female reproductive tract. Its site varies in the vaginal canal. The common sites are upper and middle third of the vagina, the low transverse vaginal septum is very rare. It is found in association with urological anomalies and anorectal malformation as well as other Mullerian anomalies especially bicornuate uterus. Case Report: We report a case of a 13-year-old girl with hematometra, hematocolpos and hematosalpinx due to an imperforate complete low vaginal septum. Conclusion: Hematosalpinx presence adversely affects the fertility and obstetric outcomes in the patient. MRI is important diagnostic modality that helps in deciding the management and so as predicting future outcome.
