Forniceal-Vaginal Deep Endometriosis

The forniceal-vaginal anatomical area is located in the recess at the vault of the vagina. Forniceal deep endometriosis (DE) is mainly located in the posterior part of the vaginal fornix but might involve also the lateral parts of the fornix [1]. The mean prevalence of vaginal DE is 17% [2], ranging from 4 to 39% [3, 4]. This wide range is probably due to the different classification systems used before the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) consensus [5].
