Overview

Case report identifies imperforate hymen leading to acute abdomen and hydronephrosis in a 15-year-old girl, suggesting surgical intervention is necessary.

  • The 15-year-old patient showed ultrasound evidence of hematocolpos and hydronephrosis, highlighting key symptoms.
  • Surgical intervention successfully relieved obstruction caused by the imperforate hymen, demonstrating effective treatment.
  • Primary amenorrhea in young girls should prompt evaluation for anatomical anomalies like imperforate hymen.
