Abstract:

Female genital tract malformation is a common disease in female population, with a incidence rate of 6%, of which oblique vaginal septum syndrome accounts for 3.7% of female genital tract malformations. Because of its complex, changeable, nonspecific symptoms and atypical imaging changes, the rate of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis is high. The risk of endometriosis, pelvic adhesions and infertility will increase after missed diagnosis. Misdiagnosis may lead to excessive operation and delay of illness. A case of atypical oblique vaginal septum syndrome admitted to Gansu Provincial Maternity and Child-Care Hospital was analyzed retrospectively. The patient was asymptomatic for 15 years after menstruation and had menstrual vaginal bleeding in the middle of menstruation, intermittent fever and abdominal pain in 4 months after cesarean section. The patient was not correctly diagnosed and properly treated. The diagnosis was confirmed 4 years after cesarean section, and was cured successfully after vaginal oblique septectomy. The diagnosis and treatment of this patient has certain reference value for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of oblique vaginal septum syndrome, and the relevant literature is reviewed in order to provide experience for the diagnosis and treatment of oblique vaginal septum syndrome.
