“…On the other hand these patients are easily missed without taking a thorough history and a proper physical examination. The syndrome known as imperforate hymen with hematocolpos has been recognized for centuries and yet is seldom diagnosed by the physician who first sees the patient (5). In our first case we encountered a complicated case with unusual presentation regarding age (only 11-year-old), tendered and distended abdomen with urinary retention and the misleading sonography.…”

Although Imperforate hymen is a rare condition, it is the most common obstructive anomaly of the female genital tract. The early diagnosis of this condition requires a high index of suspicion in newborns and in females without a history of menarche. Hydronephrosis is a known but rare complication of an imperforate hymen. Hereby we preset 2 cases of premenstrual adolescent with urinary retention and bilateral moderate to severe hydroureteronephrosis.

“…3D sonography and MRI are rarely suggested and used, although they both provide a better visualization and differentiation of the tissues and a safer distinction among other causes of hematocolpos, such as vaginal septum or partial agenesis. In addition, an endocrine profile of the patient is usually necessary [ 5 , 6 ]. Surgical management is the treatment of choice, through incision or excision of the hymen, using cold knife, scissors, electrocoagulation, or laser.…”

Background. Abdominal masses in female adolescents are uncommon. A rare cause of this condition is hematocolpos due to imperforate hymen. Case. We present a case of an unusually massive asymptomatic abdominal bulk in a 14-year-old female patient, who sought for medical advice after unusual abdominal pain lasting for few weeks. The patient was otherwise asymptomatic, apart from an unusual dramatic expansion of her abdominal wall during the last month. We describe the surgical management and the follow-up of the patient. Summary and Conclusion. Clinicians should keep in mind that an imperforate hymen can cause abdominal growth due to hematocolpos and include it in the differential diagnosis of such a clinical entity in female adolescents. 2D ultrasound is usually efficient for the confirmation of the diagnosis of hematocolpos, but 3D ultrasound is more accurate. Wide excision should be undertaken, as an initial approach, to avoid recurrence.
