Vaginal Outlet Obstruction - A Review of Cases

The paper focuses on anatomical varieties of developmental anomalies of female vagina’s outlet, emphasizing the role of their early recognition in preventing retrograde menstruation by surgical treatment at the beginning of puberty. Three different types of vaginal outlet obstruction are described: imperforate hymen - from the group of hymen misdevelopment, transversal vaginal septum - from the group of failed transverse Mullerian fusion, and vaginal atresia - from the Mullerian aplasia group of disorders.
