Case Discussion

Findings are consistent with a transverse vaginal septum, resulting in hematosalpinx (on the right, in this case) and hematometra. The MRI was specifically done to assess the thickness of the septum. For this, ultrasound jelly was introduced into the vagina to better delineate the septum.
