Abstract:
Hematocolpos is a congenital abnormality resulting from vaginal obstruction. This is relatively not rare condition but is rarely associated with obstructive uropathy such as acute urinary retention and hydronephrosis. We encountered a rare case of hematocolpos, secondary to imperforate hymen, which caused hydronephrosis and urinary retention.
