It was very dense and tight and fully 1/8 inch in thickness.

Anomalous Openings of the Vagina .-- The vagina occasionally opens abnormally into the rectum, into the bladder, the urethra, or upon the abdominal parietes.

Rossi reports from a hospital in Turin the case of a Piedmontese girl in whom there was an enormous tumor corresponding to the opening of the vaginal orifice; no traces of a vagina could be found.

The tumor was incised and proved to be a living infant.

The husband of the woman said that he had coitus without difficulty by the rectum, and examination showed that the vagina opened into the rectum, by which means impregnation had been accomplished.

Bonnain and Payne have observed analogous cases of this abnormality of the vaginal opening and subsequent accouchement by the anus.
