The aim of the present study was to investigate the ultrasound features and classify the lesion types of congenital vaginal oblique septum syndrome (CVOS) in 21 patients prior to surgery. Grey-scale pelvic ultrasound was performed to evaluate the uterus, vagina and kidneys in 21 patients with suspected CVOS. Ultrasound features, including the presence of a double uterus, hematocolpos masses and renal absence, in CVOS types I, II and III were studied and compared with intra-operative results and the results of surgery. Ultrasound identified the presence of double uteruses and cervices with ipsilateral renal agenesis on the oblique septum side in all 21 patients. There were 14 hematocolpos lesions on the right and 7 on the left of the vagina. Type I CVOS was diagnosed in 15 patients with a large hematocolpos mass (volume, 64-268 ml) and these diagnoses were confirmed by surgery. Furthermore, there were 4 patients with type II and 2 patients with type III CVOS exhibiting small hematocolpos lesions (volume, 5-36 ml) identified by ultrasound, which were all confirmed by surgery. Therefore, ultrasound imaging is useful tool to evaluate the abnormal features of CVOS and determine the type of CVOS in patients prior to surgical intervention.

Background: The longitudinal vaginal septum and oblique vaginal septum are female müllerian duct anomalies that are relatively less diagnosed but severely fertility-threatening in clinical practice. Ultrasound imaging is commonly used to examine the two vaginal malformations, but in fact it's difficult to make an accurate differential diagnosis. This study is intended to assess the performance of multiple deep learning models based on ultrasonographic images for distinguishing longitudinal vaginal septum and oblique vaginal septum.

Background: Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome is a rare Müllerian duct anomaly, characterized by a combination of urogenital abnormalities. The occurrence of primary cervico-vaginal carcinomas in patients with HWW syndrome is exceptionally rare, posing significant challenges for screening, early diagnosis, and effective management.
Case Summary: We report a rare case of primary clear cell carcinoma of the vagina complicated in a 40-year-old woman with HWW syndrome.

Introduction: This report details a case of Type I oblique vaginal septum syndrome (OVSS), highlighting its complexity as a congenital uterine malformation.
Case Presentation: A 12-year-old girl presented with severe lower abdominal pain coinciding with her first menstrual period. Ultrasound revealed a septate uterus and an oblique vaginal septum, prompting an emergency hysteroscopic procedure that confirmed the diagnosis of Type I OVSS.

Background: High-grade atrioventricular block is the primary reason for epicardial permanent pacemaker implantation during the perioperative period in patients with congenital heart disease. Due to the smaller diameter of venous vessels in children, epicardial permanent pacemaker implantation is usually a preferred choice, we report one pediatric patient who received epicardial permanent pacemaker implantation using a new approach.
Case Presentation: We present the case of a 2-year-old girl who underwent the modified Konno procedure and Pulmonary valvuloplasty surgery and presented after surgery with a High-grade atrioventricular block.
