Pouch nu e o excrescență sau protuzie? Dimple?
Vaginal agenesis (müllerian aplasia, Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome) occurs in approximately 1 in 5000 female births17 and results in congenital absence of the upper vagina in association with variable müllerian duct anomalies. There is usually associated cervical and uterine agenesis, although approximately 10% of patients have a rudimentary müllerian structure with or without functional endometrium.17 Skeletal, renal, and auditory anomalies are common. Affected individuals have a normal female 46,XX karyotype with normal oocyte and ovarian hormonal function. Patients exhibit normal secondary sexual characteristics and a normal perineum on physical examination. Because the hymen and distal vagina are both derived embryologically from the urogenital sinus, the hymen is usually present, along with a small distal vaginal pouch or vaginal dimple.

Discussion
In all of these patients, the external genitalia are essentially normal. In place of the vagina, there is typically a small pouch or dimple that is I to 4 cm in depth.
