Abstract Presented are two cases of imperforate hymen with hematocolpos seen in a pediatric emergency department (ED) during a seven-month period. The first case presented with abdominal pain, urinary obstruction, and constipation on initial visit.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
An analysis is presented of the salient embryologic, clinical, and radiologic features of the 41 cases gathered.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We present a case of 14-year-old female who initially presented with an abdominal pain and was found to have fluid filled uterine horn on the abdominal ultrasound.[sages.org]
Here, we present a case of LeFort colpocleisis in which excessive anticoagulation led to an infected hematocolpos and persistent bleeding. This was successfully managed with a Bakri balloon via a vaginal channel without recurrence of her prolapse.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We recommend the limited use of vaginal biopsies in the face of a typical vaginitis presentation, and aggressive treatment to promote mucosa healing when biopsies are required.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract The malformative syndrome of double vagina in association with uterus didelphus and kidney agenesis is a rare condition, often asymptomatic: if this condition is accompanied by imperforated obstructed hemivagina, the clinical manifestations depend[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Both patients were asymptomatic, and were regularly followed up at an outpatient clinic. To date, the hematocolpos persists but continues to be small.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The condition was initially asymptomatic, resolved spontaneously at first and recurred.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Asymptomatic in the follow-up, one month later. Conclusion : The diagnosis of imperforate hymen and hematocolpos is probable in an adolescent girl with primary amenorrhea, abdominal pain or acute urinary retention.[scielo.mec.pt]

The syndrome known as imperforatehymen with hematocolpos has been recognized for centuries and yet is seldom diagnosed by the physician who first sees the patient.[doi.org]
While unusual, this case demonstrates that hematocolpos should be considered in patients with a history of epidermal bullous disease and amenorrhea.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
More than 300 years ago Ambroise Paré described a case in which, because of amenorrhea, pain and abdominal swelling, the condition was diagnosed as pregnancy.[doi.org]
Hypothalamic amenorrhea is typically characterized by amenorrhea in the absence of anatomic, chromosomal or organic abnormalities. Often a diagnosis of exclusion, it is one of the most common causes of secondary amenorrhea [7].[file.scirp.org]
