Congenital cervical atresia: report of seven cases and review of the literature

Article Abstract:

Congenital cervical atresia is a birth defect in which the uterine cervix is closed or absent, and the vagina may be short or absent. This developmental defect prevents the normal flow of menstrual fluid, and patients may complain of recurrent pelvic pain and lack of menstrual flow. Hysterectomy is a common treatment for this condition, although some patients may regain normal menstrual flow when a canal between the vagina and uterus is surgically created. Canalization may relieve pain and, in some cases, permit normal pregnancy.
