“…If its medium septum persists, congenital duplication of the vagina may be combined with a double hydrometrocolpos. 12 The variable level of a congenital vaginal membrane is a reflection of the cranial migration of an occluding plug of Mullerian and sinus cells as the vagina develops in this direction. Histologically, the upper surface of the obstructing membrane should be lined by columnar epithelium and the lower surface by stratified squamous epithelium9 but this differentiation may be modified under the influence of maternal oestrogens.3 If the upgrowth from the urogenital sinus does not take place, the result is a vaginal atresia rather than a persistent vaginal membrane.…”

Hydrocolpos with peritonitis in the newborn.

Two cases of hydrocolpos are described presenting soon after birth. One infant who died on the first day had an intrauterine peritonitis caused by compression of the caecum on the pelvic brim. The other surviving infant developed a caecal perforation secondary to Hirschsprung's disease. Neither infant had rectal atresia, which is the commonest cause of intestinal obstruction in these infants. The association of hydrocolpos with polydactyly in one of these cases may represent an autosomal recessive trait.

“…This syndrome is usually associated with a didelphys, bicornuate or septate uterus and includes other syndromes described in literature that related renal agenesis and Gartner cyst (Herlyn-Werner [158], Wunderlich [159] syndromes, etc.). They may arise in two ways: 1.-With hematocolpos (in girls, hydrocolpos) [96,97,[160][161][162]. It is generally made manifest by progressive intraand post-menstrual dysmenorrhea present from menarche, though it is frequently diagnosed at 17-18 years of age.…”

Female genital tract malformations are frequently a cause of reproductive problems. Besides, complex malformations also frequently generate serious gynecological problems, often ones with inappropriate surgical solutions, as the gynecologist does not think of the malformation as either the cause of the symptoms or of its embryonary origin. Apart from analyzing the embryological bases in the development of the female genital tract and insisting on the well known müllerian origin of the uterus, the ratification of the embryological hypothesis about the origin of the human vagina from the Wolff ducts and the Müller tubercle allows us to not only advance in knowledge but to use that knowledge for better clinical management of the problems generated by the complex malformations of the female genital tract. In this review we study the methods and means for the diagnosis of female genital-urinary malformations, their classification and clinical findings, and especially those cases involving unilateral renal agenesis, vaginal ectopic ureter and other complex malformations. We also analyze the related obstetric and gynecologic pathology, and especially that cases of complex genital malformations. We review the related literature and some interesting case reports, as well as our experimental studies in rats. After reasserting our hypothesis about the embryology of the human vagina as derived from the Wolff ducts and the Müller tubercle, we suggest different recommendations for a better approach and management of the malformations of the female genital tract according to the findings observed in different diagnostic procedures.

“…A longitudinal septum in the vagina has been reported in some women with partial or complete duplication or atresia of the reproductive tract (Davis & Fell, 1950;Dougherty & Spencer, 1972;Perrin, 1978). Such malformations are often associated with massive abnormalities of other organ systems.…”

Studies on the inheritance of vaginal septa in mice, a trait with low penetrance

Longitudinal vaginal septa were found in 1-3% of females of the BALB/cBy and C57BL/6By inbred strains and their F1, F2 and backcross hybrids. In the CXBJ recombinant-inbred strain over half the females were affected, showing that the parental strains differed at a minimum of 2 loci that increased the risk of septa. Crosses involving CXBJ mice showed that susceptibility could be transmitted by the male parent and suggested that the different genotypes producing low penetrance could be identified. Subline differences in C57BL were marked, the incidence ranging from 1% in C57BL/6By to about 26% in two lines congenic with C57BL/10ScSn. No association was found between incidence and H-2 histocompatibility type. Imperforate vagina occurred at a low frequency in 4 stocks in which septa were regularly found. The minor anomaly was about 15 times more likely than the malformation.
