Pyocolpos with imperforate hymen during early childhood presented with urine retention and bouts of intestinal obstruction

Abstract

An imperforate hymen is not a rare condition in female newborns, but is often ignored in a genital examination by doctors. We report an unusual case of a 2 years old Sudanese girl with an imperforate hymen and pyocolpos presented with urine retention and intermittent bouts of intestinal
obstruction. To our knowledge, this is a first case of female child with  pyocolpos to be documented in Sudan literature.
