Forniceal deep endometriosis primarily affects the posterior vaginal fornix but can extend laterally, with prevalence estimates varying widely due to differing classification systems.

⚙ AI-generated deep summary by claude@2026-06, 2026-06-06 ⓘ

This chapter describes forniceal-vaginal deep endometriosis, focusing on its anatomical location in the vaginal fornix (mainly posterior, sometimes lateral) and reports that vaginal deep endometriosis has a mean prevalence of 17% with a wide reported range (4–39%). It explains that this variability is likely due to differences in prior classification systems, noting that IDEA consensus standards help address such inconsistencies. A key limitation is that the provided statistics are drawn from heterogeneous studies and earlier classifications rather than a single unified methodology. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically covers forniceal-vaginal deep endometriosis and its prevalence and anatomical distribution.
