Resumen

ANTECEDENTES: El septo vaginal transverso es un defecto raro de la embriogénesis vaginal asociado con infertilidad, complicaciones obstétricas y recurrencia. Los casos de parto después de la corrección quirúrgica son escasos.

OBJETIVO: Describir un caso de embarazo en el posoperatorio temprano que culminó  en parto luego de una dilatación vaginal durante el embarazo.

CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente con hallazgo de un septo vaginal transverso durante el diagnóstico de un aborto. Se practicó un legrado por aspiración, a través de la fenestración del tabique y, posteriormente, una plastia en doble cruz 12 semanas después. La intervención se programó luego de la confirmación del diagnóstico mediante ecografía y resonancia magnética. En el posoperatorio temprano, la paciente quedó embarazada y se llevó a cabo un seguimiento estrecho, con adiestramiento para la dilatación vaginal. El embarazo finalizó mediante parto, sin recidivas.

CONCLUSIÓN: La plastia programada con la dilatación vaginal constante, junto con el propio embarazo, puede disminuir las complicaciones asociadas con el septo vaginal transverso.

Abstract       

BACKGROUND: The transverse vaginal septum is a rare failure of vaginal embryogenesis. It has been associated with infertility, obstetric complications and recurrence. Cases of vaginal delivery after surgery are scarce.

OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of gestation in the early postoperative period which culminates in vaginal delivery after vaginal dilation during pregnancy.

CLINICAL CASE: A transverse vaginal septum was incidentally found in the patient during the diagnosis of an abortion. An aspiration curettage was carried out through the fenestration of the septum, performing a double-cross plasty 12 weeks later. Surgery was scheduled after diagnostic confirmation by ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. In the early postoperative period, the patient got pregnant again, carrying out a close follow-up with training in vaginal dilatation. Gestation culminated in a vaginal delivery without subsequent recurrence.

CONCLUSION: Scheduled double-cross plasty with constant vaginal dilation, along with the gestation itself, could diminish the complications associated to the transverse vaginal septum.
