Abstract

Cervical agenesis occurs in 1 in 80,000 to 100,000 births, and in 50% of cases it coexists with congenital vaginal agenesis. Isolated cervical agenesis is very rare. We report a case of 13-year-old girl with isolated proximal cervical agenesis. Laparoscopic reconstructive surgery was done. Anastomosis was established between uterus and distal cervical bud. Patient had regular cyclical menstruation following surgery.
