Treatment of IH is surgical. Different types of incisions and postoperative treatment are proposed. Case: A 12-year-old girl presented with a 3-day history of pain in the lower abdomen. Examination of the external genitalia disclosed a bulging hymen. Ultrasound examination of her lower abdomen revealed hematocolpos. A diagnosis of hematocolpos caused by IH was established and surgical treatment was decided. Conclusion: Treatment of choice for IH is undeniably surgical. Although different types of procedures have been proposed, the surgeon should choose the one that best suits the patient’s needs without harming anatomical structures closely related to the hymen.展开更多

If ovulation occurs, menstrual bleeding is prevented. Patients typically present with abdominal/pelvic pain due to hematocolpos. Absence of significant hematocolpos could indicate a secondary source of primary amenorrhea and be challenging to the clinical diagnosis. Case: 17 year-old patient with primary amenorrhea, appropriate Tanner staging secondary sex characteristics, and transverse vaginal septum presents with virtual absence of hematocolpos. After vaginal septum resection, the patient began menstruating, although only evidenced by two cycles of vaginal spotting. Conclusion: Significant hematocolpos is an expected sequella of distal outlet obstruction when collated with secondary sexual characteristics. Absence of such along with suboptimal return of menstruation reflects pathophysiology which may be attributed to a coexistent disorder of the hypothalamus or higher central nervous system function.展开更多
