Abstract: In a 27-year-old patient with cyclic hematuria a complex congenital malformation was diagnosed: the atresia of the upper third of the vagina and the external uterine cervix, a vesico-uterine fistula, and agenesis of the right kidney. The patient was treated surgically in two phases: first, the vesico-uterine fistula was closed abdominally and then, vaginally, the cervix was lowered down to its normal anatomic site and the external cervical orifice was opened. The postoperative course was normal and the patient was discharged from hospital 20 days after surgery. After 2 months the findings of the follow-up examination were normal, and so were the menstrual cycle and urination.
