Abstract

Failure in the formation of a hymeneal orifice is a rare congenital malformation. There are many cases of imperforated hymen with hematocolpos in literature. However this condition associated with obstructive uropathy such as acute urinary retention is rare. We experienced a case of imperforated hymen with hematocolpos which caused acute urinary retention in a 16-year-old girl. Herein we report this case with brief review of literature.
