Imperforate hymen complicated by obstructive acute renal failure
Abstract
Abstract Imperforate hymen is a
rare malformation (1/ 1000 female
births). It is diagnosed most often
during puberty. Early diagnosis of
hematocolpos and evacuation is
necessary to avoid any consequences. We report a rare case of an
imperforate hymen complicated
with acute urinary retention, hydronephrosis and renal failure in a
14-year-old girl to emphasize the
possible misdiagnosis and its possible consequences. This is the first
case we encounter in our unit.
Keywords: Hymen, imperforate,
hymenectomy , hydronephrosis,
renal failure.
