ABSTRACT
Vaginal agenesis is an uncommon congenital anomaly and such complex malformations are usually incorrectly identified. Deviations from the normal embryologic events in the reproductive system may result to malformations which may exhibit with the same clinical presentation. A complete history and physical examination coupled with appropriate imaging techniques are necessary to arrive at a correct diagnosis. Physicians must be aware of the differential diagnosis and management options available. A correct diagnosis must be made prior to any surgical intervention to prevent inappropriate surgeries with their anticipated complications. In cases with vaginal outlet obstruction, an accurate diagnosis with the adequate treatment reduces the need for re-operations and subsequent complications. Reported are three misdiagnosed cases of distal vaginal agenesis resulting to unwarranted surgical interventions.
