English to Romanian Medical Medical (general) gynecology

Failure of fusion and canalization of the müllerian ducts and embryologic urogenital sinus lead to a transverse vaginal septum. Septa are generally less than 1 cm in thickness and extend completely or incompletely across the vagina (Fig. 34-12). There is often a small central or eccentric perforation. A complete vaginal septum may occur in the upper (46%), middle (40%), or lower (14%) vagina. The vagina is short or is a blind-ending pouch.
