Zusammenfassung:	Background: Transperineal sonography has been used to detect incompetent cervices, placenta previa, cervical pregnancy, and vaginal and cervical atresia.

Conclusion: Transperineal or translabial sonography assisted in the differentiation of primary amenorrhea, when adequate vaginal access was prohibited.
