ABSTRACT
A woman in her 30s presents to the Differences in Sexual Development Programme at a tertiary care academic medical centre with vaginal stenosis and scarring. Her medical history is significant for virilisation in utero due to a maternal luteoma of pregnancy. Laboratory investigations at the time of birth showed elevated androgens in both mother and daughter. During infancy, she underwent clitoroplasty and vaginoplasty for correction of posterior vaginal fusion. She represented as an adult with vaginal stenosis, with associated physical and psychosocial implications. She was not able to insert a tampon or have penetrative intercourse. After examination and shared decision-making, the patient underwent cystoscopy, vaginoscopy and posterior vaginoplasty with the goal to create a normal calibre vagina. Postoperative dilator use was recommended to prevent restenosis of the introitus. In clinic follow-up, the patient was observed to have a normal calibre vagina.
