Abstract
BACKGROUND: Uterus didelphys with obstructed hemivagina presents with a pelvic mass often inappropriately approached by laparotomy. CASE: An adolescent female was evaluated for dysmenorrhea, a pelvic mass and a double uterus. Transvaginal resection of the oblique vaginal septum was performed, with relief of symptoms and subsequent conception. CONCLUSION: This entity should be considered to prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary abdominal surgery.
