Vaginal atresia can be defined as an anomaly that occurs when the lower part of vagina fails to develop normally. This congenital anomaly embodies itself as an incomplete canalization of Mullerien ducts. The defect in question usually uncovers itself thanks to a mass or pain in the lower abdominal region which is in turn a result of retention in certain genital structures or disorder of menstrual blood. As an instance, a 15 years old patient at IbnSina hospital experienced a lower abdominal pain with presence of correct secondary sexual characteristics. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging are used to scrutinize the case.
