Winternitz. - Haematocolpos after ulcerative adhesive inflammation of the vagina. - (Ibid., No. 13)

W. reports a relatively rare case of vaginal infection, with the accumulation of about 1000.0 fluid in a closed bag, while the uterus remained unchanged.

Cases of acquired uterine infection. (Atresia uteri aequisita)

Uterine infections usually occupy the inner orifice, owing their origin to some pathological processes leading to adhesive inflammation to the area of ​​the inner mouth; the process consists in the violation of the integrity of the tissue (ulcerative!) with the formation of a scar. Most often this happens after gangrene, after difficult labor, especially with the rough use of obstetric instruments, after which infectious diseases (diphtheria, smallpox, typhus, scarlet fever, measles), from non-rational means of caustic pointed out cases of atresia depending on senile atrophy of the genital organs, (which easily leads to the development of the ulcerative process); finally, some authors (Fritsch, Pozzi) point to one more ethiological moment of atresia after amputation of the vaginal part.
