Sumario:Cervical agenesis or dysgenesis is a rare congenital anomaly. The patients usually present with primary amenorrhoea, primary infertility, and cyclical abdominal pain or with a history of prior surgeries like hymenectomy, vaginoplasty, or adhesiolysis for endometriosis along with well developed secondary sexual characters. We present a case of 15 years old girl with cervical dysgenesis and proximal vaginal agenesis, who presented with severe cyclical abdominal pain. She was managed with cervicovaginal canalization by coring and drilling technique done by vaginal approach with simultaneous laparoscopic guidance. Being a rare type of developmental anomaly of the female genital tract, no standard treatment for type-2 cervical dysgenesis has been established. The patient was followed up for 18 months during which she reported to be having regular menstruation.
