A rare case of pyometrocolpos with obstructive uropathy: sequelae of distal vaginal atresia

Abstract

Hydrometrocolpos is a rare abnormality in female newborns. It follows congenital vaginal obstruction which may present as a midline abdominal mass causing either urinary tract or gastrointestinal tract obstruction without a coexisting bowel anomaly. Our experience was that of an infant with obstructive uropathy from an infected hydrometrocolpos.
