Blind hemivagina with duplex uterus and agenesis of the homolateral urinary tract is a rare malformation. For this reason, diagnosis may be not found. We report one case of duplex uterus with blind hemivagina in a fourteen-year-old adolescent girl. From this case, clinical signs, principal diagnosis criteria, complications and treatment are discussed, transvaginal resection of the hemivaginal septus is the best method of treatment but resulting hymeneal rupture may constitute a real problem of treatment in some social environments. So we propose to evaluate endoscopic septotomy.
