Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine

CHAPTER VI
246/293

Gooding cites an instance of absent vagina in a married woman, the uterus discharging the functions.

Gosselin reports a case in which a voluminous tumor was formed by the retained menstrual fluid in a woman without a vagina.

An artificial vagina was created, but the patient died from extravasation of blood into the peritoneal cavity.

Carter, Polaillon, Martin, Curtis, Worthington, Hall, Hicks, Moliere, Patry, Dolbeau, Desormeaux, and Gratigny also record instances of absence of the vagina.
There are some cases reported in extramedical literature which might be cited.

Bussy Rabutin in his Memoires in 1639 speaks of an instance.
