ABSTRACT

Background: The incidence of cervical agenesis with functional endometrium is unknown, but it’s estimated to be less than 0.1% in the general population. The reproductive prognosis in Müllerian malformations is limited and, in most cases, requires multiple surgical interventions to be improved.
Case Report: A 21-year-old primiparous patient with a history of agenesis of the cervix and two upper thirds of the vagina. Attended a first-time obstetric appointment at 38.1 weeks of gestation. She refers that the pregnancy was conceived spontaneously and denied complications during pregnancy. A cesarean section was scheduled to end the pregnancy, which had no trans or post-operative maternal-fetal morbidity.
Conclusions: Spontaneous pregnancy in patients with congenital agenesis of the cervix should be addressed in time to ensure a favorable obstetric outcome.
