Cervico-vaginal agenesis is an extremely uncommon mullerian abnormality. Therefore, we describe a case of a female patient, age 21, known case of cervico-vaginal agenesis presented with cyclic abdominal pain and vomiting. She underwent three surgeries for vaginal correction to drain haemometra. She underwent Laparoscopic uterovaginal anastomosis. After surgery, the patient experienced regular menstrual cycles without dysmenorrhea. On follow-up, hysteroscopy showed a patent anastomosis, vagina was completely healed and she continued to have regular menstrual cycles.
