Vaginal atresia is a congenital defect resulting in uterovaginal outflow tract obstruction.

It occurs when
the caudal portion of the vagina, contributed by the urogenital sinus, fails to form. This caudal portion of
the vagina is replaced with fibrous tissue. Vagina atresia and agenesis are congenital anomalies of the
female genitourinary tract and may occur as an isolated developmental defect (extremely rare) or as
part of a complex of anomalies (more common).
