The longitudinal congenital vaginal septum (LCVS) is a defect that can be associated with dyspareunia or dystocia during childbirth. We present a case of a 20 year old woman in whom a LCVS was identified during labor. In the pelvic examination, an elastic structure was felt about 2 cm behind the vaginal intro. During the second stage of labor, a medial section of the septum was made allowing the birth of a live female product. In conclusion, a thorough physical examination is enough to show the presence of a vaginal septum. However, there is a probability of an intrapartum diagnosis of LCVS therefore gynecological medical training is necessary to minimize the risks associated with childbirth.

Aims The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to estimate the prevalence and incidence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Materials and methods We searched MEDLINE, SCOPUS, Web of Science, EMBASE and LILACS databases of published observational studies in LAC up to December 2020. Meta-analyses of proportions were performed using random-effects models using Stata Program 15.1. Heterogeneity was evaluated through sensitivity, subgroup, and meta-regression analyses. Evidence certainty was performed with the GRADE approach. Results Twenty-nine studies from eight countries were included. The estimated prevalence of DPN was 46.5% (95%CI: 38.0-55.0) with a significant heterogeneity (I2 = 98.2%; p<0.01). Only two studies reported incidence, and the pooled effect size was 13.7% (95%CI: 10.6-17.2). We found an increasing trend of cu...
