(Schroeder.) vaginal portion, round and slim, extending to the uterinebody. Rectal examination shows this condition evenmore distinctly. Emmet and some other writers declineto recognize this condition as a distinct hypertrophy, oras being other than a mere stretching of the relaxed andsoftened cervical tissues. Its existence, however, as sodistinct a pathological condition renders it worthy ofseparate consideration. Hypertrophic Elongation of the Infra-vaginal Portionof the Cervix differs (Fig. 4368) from the preceding onlyin that the seat of the disease is that portion of the cervixwhich lies below its junc-tion with the vaginalwalls. The cervix is notincreased in size, is per-fectly smooth, and thevaginal vault is at its nor-mal level. The symptomsof this condition are few— dyspareunia, occasion-ally a sensation of weight,and sometimes difficultyin locomotion, and steril-ity. Usuall
