Özet

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. © 2008 American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
