Vaginal stenosis (gynatresia) is commonly congenital, occurring as a part of Mayer-Kustner-Hauser syndrome. Those occurring postabortal or postpartum are rarely seen nowadays. Here, we report two cases, one in which there was complete stenosis postpartum following a retained gauze and another case, with chemical vaginal burns following attempted abortion by a local untrained midwife.
