Most patients with congenital angular vagina only have completely closed vaginal vestibule mucosa at the normal vaginal opening, without vaginal traces. Some patients also have shallow depressions in the vaginal vestibule, and some have blind vaginas shorter than 3 cm. It is often accompanied by no deformity, and only slightly thickened strip-like tissue can be seen in the normal uterus, located in the middle of the broad ligament.

About 1/10 of patients may have partial uterine development and functional endometrium. After puberty, due to menstrual blood retention, they experience periodic abdominal pain, amenorrhea, or the disease is discovered only after marriage when they seek medical attention due to sexual intercourse difficulties.

If the uterus develops normally, primary amenorrhea with periodic abdominal pain, intrauterine blood accumulation, and uterine enlargement will occur. 3. Sexual dysfunction. 4. With ovarian dysplasia, secondary sexual characteristics are incompletely developed, short stature, webbed neck, elbow valgus and other deformities.
