A vaginal septum is a type of Mullerian anomaly that can be longitudinal or transverse, separating the vagina into two canals. Vaginal septa occur due to lack of fusion and recanalization of Mullerian structures, and often present with voiding dysfunction with potential impact on fertility and sexual function. We describe a rare case of concomitant transverse and longitudinal vaginal septa and discuss its presentation. Additionally, we present a unique surgical management of these anomalies. The patient had an uncomplicated postoperative course and had no continence issues on long term follow up.
