Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate a rare and unusual presentation of transverse vaginal septum (TVS). DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Atatürk University, Erzurum, Turkey. PATIENT(S): A woman with complaint of primary infertility presenting TVS. INTERVENTION(S): After comprehensive examination, primary infertility associated with müllerian duct anomaly was surgically treated. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Primary infertility and anatomic anomaly. RESULT: After surgical intervention, the patient with primary infertility caused by asymptomatic TVS was successfully conceived. CONCLUSION(S): Anatomic congenital defects may contribute to primary infertility. Suspicious evaluation of all primary infertile couples is needed, because a rare asymptomatic anatomic congenital defect could lie behind the infertility.
