Abstract

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