Large Gartner cyst of the posterior vaginal fornix

BMJ Case Rep. 2022 Jul 11;15(7):e249458. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2022-249458.

Abstract

International classifications of congenital anomalies do not extensively describe vaginal cysts. For this reason, clinicians who deal with such conditions can only rely on their personal or other colleague's experience, and only a few case reports are present in the literature. This paper illustrates the clinical scenario due to a particular Gartner cyst, the diagnostic workup followed for its diagnosis and its surgical management.

Keywords: Congenital disorders; Obstetrics and gynaecology; Ultrasonography; Vulvovaginal disorders.
