The term Vaginitis emphysematosa is related to Women's Reproductive Health and coined by Zweifel in 1877. The cases of Vaginitis emphysematosa are rare. The most important thing is that women never consult with the doctors for particularly Vaginitis emphysematosa but when they visit a doctor for some other reproductive health issue, they diagnose with the Vaginitis emphysematosa fortunately. Vaginitis emphysematosa is not common and Gynaecologists rarely know about it. Basically, this is characterised by gas-filled cysts in the mucosa of the vagina.[1] Vaginitis emphysematosa is usually a self limited cystic disorder of the vagina. It is a very rare condition and has not much specific features to arouse clinical suspicion.[2]
The term ''Vaginitis emphysematosa'' has 'vaginitis' in it but it has been observed that inflammation is generally mild and absent.[2] This is characterised by gas-filled cysts in the vaginal wall and does not imply life-threatening infection.[3]
