Abstract

Background: Cervical agenesis, a rare birth defect affecting the female reproductive system, is often accompanied by vaginal agenesis in only 39% of cases. In the past, the standard treatment for this condition was hysterectomy. However, as medical technology and techniques continue to advance, more conservative surgeries and assisted reproductive methods are now being considered as the primary treatment options. However, complications such as restenosis, pelvic abscess, and recurrent pelvic endometriosis should always be considered. Case presentation : We report a case of cervicovaginal agenesis complication after reconstructive surgery in a 16-year-old adolescent girl. Conclusion : A conservative surgical approach to cervical malformations may cause complications that can be prevented or managed by regular follow-ups.
