Development of the normal vagina is dependent on the mesonephric duct, paramesonephric duct, and urogenital sinus. A mesonephric anomaly may account for vaginal agenesis, and this defect also explains the associated genitourinary abnormalities. Patients usually present with primary amenorrhea and have a normal female phenotype with normal karyotype and hormonal function. Vaginal reconstruction has most commonly been carried out by use of a split-thickness skim graft with successful long-term results.
正常阴道的发育依赖于中肾管、副中肾管和泌尿生殖窦。中肾异常可能导致阴道闭锁,这种缺陷也解释了相关的泌尿生殖系统异常。患者通常表现为原发性闭经,具有正常的女性表型、正常的核型和激素功能。阴道重建最常用的方法是使用中厚皮片移植,长期效果良好。
