ABSTRACT
A 24 year-old patient, single, with cervical agenesis and imperforate hymen is presented. She underwent hymenectomy for hematosalpinx and right oophorectomy for endometriosis, before finally undergoing hysterectomy. Cervical agenesis is a rare anatomic developmental abnormality and proposed guidelines in managing similar conditions are reviewed in this report. The management of choice will defend on the condition of the patient and the availability of resources. The patient underwent multiple surgeries in the past. However, despite all efforts to address her medical condition, due to the complications, the small chance of getting pregnant, and the absence of an experienced surgeon capable of performing a reconstructive procedure, she was eventually convinced to undergo hysterectomy. With cervical agenesis, the patient is faced with psychological difficulties that should be addressed. One can only hope that the future will hold a more optimistic outlook for young girls with this rare congenital abnormality.
