Abstract

Imperforate hymen occurs in approximately 1 out of every 2000 females. This entity is the most common congenital cause of genital outflow obstruction and does not usually cause symptoms until puberty.We present the case of a 13-year-old girl who attended the emergency department complaining of abdominal pain and metrorrhagia. Physical examination revealed an imperforate and bulging hymen beginning to drain dark blood. Transabdominal ultrasonography was suggestive of hematocolpos and hematometra. The patient was treated surgically and the postoperative outcome was favorable.
