The round ulcer of the vagina, first described by Zahn in 1884, according to the author, is far from being as rare as it was hitherto assumed. It develops mainly in older women, and circulatory disorders due to heart disease and arteriosclerotic changes in the vessels supplying the walls of the vagina play an important etiological role.
