ABSTRACT

El himen imperforado es una malformación congénita poco frecuente reconocida como la causa más común de hematocolpos. La mayoría de las pacientes con himen imperforado son infradiagnosticadas hasta la manifestación de síntomas obstructivos en la adolescencia. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 13 años a quien se le diagnosticó de himen imperforado con hematocolpos.


Imperforate hymen is a rare congenital malformation recognized as the most common cause of hematocolpos. Most patients with imperforate hymen are underdiagnosed until the manifestation of obstructive symptoms in adolescence. We present the case of a 13-year-old female diagnosed with imperforate hymen with hematocolpos.

ABSTRACT

Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 11 años que presento un cuadro clínico de oligomenorrea, leucorrea y dolor pélvico tipo cólico. Se ha pensado por el dolor abdominal en la posibilidad de apendicitis modificada por lo que se realizó ecografía pélvica con los hallazgos de útero didelfo, quiste anexial derecho y agenesia renal izquierda, datos compatibles con síndrome de Herlyn ­ Werner ­ Wünderlich


We present the case of an 11-year-old patient who presented a clinical picture of oligomenorrhea, leucorrhoea and pelvic pain type colic. It has been thought for abdominal pain in the possibility of modified appendicitis so pelvic ultrasound was performed with the findings of didelphic uterus, right adnexal cyst and left renal agenesis, data compatible with Herlyn ­ Werner ­ Wünderlich syndrome.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome is a rare congenital malformation of the urogenital tract characterized by the triad of uterine didelphys, obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis, which is usually diagnosed after menarche. It is treated by resecting the vaginal septum and draining the obstructed hemivagina and has a favorable postoperative prognosis. Case presentation: This is the case of 22-year-old woman with a 9-year history of dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, and irregular menstrual cycles that started after she had her first menstruation, who visited the gynecology service of a secondary care hospital in Sogamoso, Boyacá (Colombia). The patient reported having visited multiple specialists and being treated with vitamin E, metformin, and contraceptives, without experiencing an improvement of symptoms and signs. After being assessed, and taking into account ultrasound and MRI findings, she was diagnosed with HWW syndrome. She underwent a colpotomy plus resection of right paracervical mass of approximately 60x60mm and vaginal septum, achieving complete resolution of symptoms. Finally, 10 months after the surgery, she reported being pregnant without complications. Conclusion: HWW syndrome is a rare malformation that should be considered as a differential diagnosis in women of any age with paramesonephric duct anomalies, pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and presence of masses in the genital tract, since its early diagnosis and timely treatment considerably improve the quality of life of these patients by reducing the severity of symptoms, decreasing the incidence of complications, and improving obstetric prognosis.


Resumen Introducción. El síndrome de Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich (SHWW) es una malformación congénita rara del tracto urogenital que se caracteriza por la triada útero didelfo, hemivagina obstruida y anomalía renal ipsilateral, y que suele diagnosticarse después de la menarquia. Su tratamiento consiste en resección del tabique vaginal y drenaje de la hemivagina obstruida, con un buen pronóstico postquirúrgico. Presentación del caso. Mujer de 22 años con un cuadro clínico de 9 años de evolución que inició cuando tuvo su primera menstruación, consistente en dismenorrea, dolor pélvico y ciclos menstruales irregulares, quien asistió al servicio de ginecología de un hospital de segundo nivel en Sogamoso, Boyacá (Colombia). La paciente reportó haber visitado múltiples especialistas y recibido tratamiento con vitamina E, metformina y anticonceptivos, sin mejoría de los síntomas y signos. Luego de ser valorada, y teniendo en cuenta los hallazgos en ecografía y resonancia magnética, fue diagnosticada con SHWW, por lo que se le realizó colpotomía más resección de masa paracervical derecha de aproximadamente 60x60mm y de tabique vaginal, lográndose la resolución completa de los síntomas. Finalmente, 10 meses después de la cirugía, la joven refirió encontrarse en estado de embarazo, sin presentar complicaciones. Conclusión. El SHWW es una malformación poco común que debe considerarse como diagnóstico diferencial en mujeres de cualquier edad con anomalías de los conductos paramesonéfricos, dolor pélvico, dismenorrea y masa en el tracto genital, pues su diagnóstico temprano y un tratamiento oportuno mejoran considerablemente la calidad de vida de estas pacientes al reducir la severidad de los síntomas, disminuir la incidencia de complicaciones y mejorar el pronóstico obstétrico.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Los defectos en la canalización de la membrana himeneal causan obstrucción del tracto genital femenino. Como consecuencia aparece hematocolpos, resultante de la acumulación y retención de secreciones cervicovaginales -sangre en útero y vagina-, ante la imposibilidad de su evacuación por la presencia de un himen imperforado. Clínicamente aparece masa abdominal, asociada con malformaciones vaginales congénitas. Se presentó el caso de una adolescente de 13 años que refirió retención urinaria, disuria, dolor y masa en hipogastrio, y ausencia de la menarquía a pesar de un desarrollo puberal en estadio Tanner III. Al realizar ultrasonido se constató sangre en el útero, debido a imperforación himeneal que se resolvió mediante himenotomía. La patología de himen imperforado con hematocolpos debe estar entre los posibles planteamientos sindrómicos de aquellas pacientes con cuadros similares; puede diagnosticarse en la Atención Primaria de Salud a partir de una detallada anamnesis y exploración física, aunque la comprobación requiere ecografía (AU).


ABSTRACT The defects in the channeling of the himeneal membrane cause obstruction in the female genital tract. As consequence hematocolpos appears, resulting from the accumulation and retention of cervicovaginal secretions -blood in the uterus and vagina-, due to the impossibility of its evacuation because of the presence of an imperforate hymen. Clinically, abdominal mass appears associated to congenital vaginal malformations. We presented the case of teenager aged 13 years that referred urine retention, dysuria, pain, had a mass in the hypogastrium, and absence of menarche in spite of a Tanner III pubertal development. An ultrasound showed blood in the uterus due to hymeneal imperforation solved through hymenotomy. The pathology of imperforate hymen with hematocolpos should be among the possible syndrome considerations in those patients with the same characteristics; it can be diagnosed in the primary health care from anamnesis and physical exploration, although the verification requires an ultrasound (AU).

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN El hematocolpos es la acumulación de sangre menstrual en la vagina, se produce por imperforación del himen o de la parte inferior de la vagina. El himen imperforado es una rara malformación congénita que ocurre en el 0,1 % de los recién nacidos del sexo femenino; este es un trastorno del desarrollo embriológico del himen que carece del orificio central por el que drenan las secreciones cervicales y uterinas. Se presentó una paciente de 15 años de edad, con antecedentes de haber nacido de parto eutócico a término, con dolor en bajo vientre y en la parte baja de la espalda hacia el lado derecho. El dolor abdominal es la forma de presentación clínica más frecuente de esta afección. El diagnóstico es clínico y se apoya en exámenes complementarios (ultrasonido abdominal y ginecológico). Esta afección se resuelve con la realización de una himenectomía.


ABSTRACT Hematocolpos is the accumulation of menstrual blood in the vagina; it is produced by imperforation of the hymen or the lower part of the vagina. Imperforate hymen is a rare congenital malformation that occurs in 0.1% of female newborns; this is an embryological developmental disorder of the hymen that lacks the central orifice through which uterine and cervical secretions drain. We present a 15-year-old patient with a history of having been born from eutocic delivery at term, pain in lower abdomen and in lower back towards the right side. Abdominal pain is the most common clinical presentation of this condition. Its diagnosis is clinical and is supported by complementary tests (abdominal and gynecological ultrasound). This condition is resolved by means of a hymenectomy.

ABSTRACT

Las malformaciones müllerianas son anomalías congénitas que suelen manifestarse después de la menarquia. Entre ellas, el síndrome de Herlyn-Werner-Wünderlich (SHWW) se caracteriza por útero didelfo, hemivagina obstruida y agenesia renal ipsilateral. La presentación clínica del SHWW suele ser asintomática hasta la menarquia; la mayoría es diagnosticada entre 2 meses y 1 año después de la primera menstruación. Los síntomas que se presentan son dismenorrea, dolor abdominal cíclico recurrente, menstruación irregular y, a veces, masa pélvica palpable. Ocasionalmente, el hematocolpos o la hematometra pueden desarrollar piocolpos, piosálpinx y pelviperitonitis, y algunas pacientes solo manifiestan infertilidad o pérdida recurrente del embarazo. Presentamos los casos de dos pacientes de 11 y 13 años que acudieron con dolor abdominal cíclico y describimos la historia clínica, las imágenes y el tratamiento específico que se realizó en cada una de las pacientes.


Müllerian malformations are congenital anomalies that usually manifest after menarche. Among them, Herlyn-Werner-Wünderlich syndrome (SHWW) is characterized by didelphic uterus, obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. The clinical presentation of SHWW is usually asymptomatic until menarche; most are diagnosed 2 months to 1 year after first menstruation. Presenting symptoms are dysmenorrhea, recurrent cyclic abdominal pain, irregular menses, and sometimes palpable pelvic mass. Occasionally, hematocolpos or hematometra may develop pyocolpos, pyosalpinx and pelviperitonitis, and some patients manifest only infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss. We report the cases of two patients aged 11 and 13 years who presented with cyclic abdominal pain and describe the clinical history, imaging and specific treatment performed in each patient.

ABSTRACT

Resumen ANTECEDENTES: El síndrome de Herlyn-Werner-Wünderlich es una anomalía congénita mülleriana rara, que se caracteriza por la asociación entre útero didelfo, obstrucción del tabique vaginal y agenesia renal. PRIMER CASO: Paciente de 13 años, con dolor pélvico severo de 8 días de evolución. Durante el examen físico refirió dolor abdominal generalizado. La ecografía pélvica abdominal mostró: útero bicorne con hematocolpos y la resonancia magnética nuclear: útero único con hematocolpos y agenesia renal derecha. En la laparoscopia se evidenció el útero didelfo, con hematosalpinx, síndrome adherencial moderado de epiplón y focos de endometriosis. Se efectuaron la incisión del tabique vaginal y su resección. Con esto se consiguió el drenaje completo del hematocolpos y fue posible la vaginoplastia; la paciente tuvo buena evolución. SEGUNDO CASO: Paciente de 30 años, con dismenorrea, dolor pélvico y ciclos regulares. En el examen físico se observaron dos cuellos uterinos: el derecho de aspecto normal y el izquierdo puntiforme. La ecografía mostró: útero didelfo con colección líquida en el medio. La resonancia magnética reportó: útero didelfo y agenesia renal izquierda. En la histeroscopia se evidenció, en el cuello derecho y a la mitad del útero una cavidad tubular. El endometrio y ostium derecho normal. El cuello izquierdo era rudimentario y puntiforme, con salida de material purulento. La laparoscopia evidenció dos hemiúteros con trompas y ovarios normales. CONCLUSIÓN: El diagnóstico temprano de esta anomalía congénita disminuye la morbilidad a largo plazo, la posibilidad de endometriosis, deterioro de la fertilidad y las complicaciones obstétricas. El tratamiento es con técnicas de mínimo acceso que ofrecen más ventajas: magnificación del campo quirúrgico, menor dolor posoperatorio, recuperación más rápida y mejor resultado estético.


Abstract BACKGROUND: The Herlyn-Werner-Wünderlich syndrome is a rare Müllerian congenital anomaly, characterized by the association between didelphus uterus, obstruction of the vaginal septum and renal agenesia. FIRST CASE: Patient of 13 years, with severe pelvic pain of 8 days of evolution. During the physical examination he reported generalized abdominal pain. Abdominal pelvic ultrasound showed: bicornuate uterus with hematocolpos and nuclear magnetic resonance: single uterus with hematocolpos and right renal agenesis. In laparoscopy the didelphus uterus was evidenced, with hematosalpinx, moderate adherent adhesion syndrome and foci of endometriosis. The incision of the vaginal septum and its resection were made. With this, complete drainage of the hematocolpos was achieved and vaginoplasty was possible; the patient had a good evolution. SECOND CASE: Patient of 30 years, with dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain and regular cycles. In the physical examination two uterine necks were observed: the right one of normal aspect and the left one punctate. The ultrasound showed: uterus didelphy with liquid collection in the middle. Magnetic resonance reported: didelphys uterus and left renal agenesis. The hysteroscopy revealed a tubular cavity in the right neck and in the middle of the uterus. The endometrium and normal right ostium. The left neck was rudimentary and punctate, with leakage of purulent material. The laparoscopy showed two hemiutero with normal tubes and ovaries. CONCLUSION: Early diagnosis of this congenital anomaly decreases long-term morbidity, the possibility of endometriosis, impaired fertility and obstetric complications. The treatment is with minimal access techniques that offer more advantages than open surgery.

ABSTRACT

Se describe el caso clínico de una adolescente de 12 años de edad, quien había estado ingresada 5 años atrás en el Servicio de Terapia Intensiva del Hospital Pediátrico Docente Sur Antonio María Béguez César de Santiago de Cuba por presentar enfermedad estafilocócica y amenorrea primaria. Esta vez acudió a consulta con dolor abdominal recurrente desde hacía 3 meses, localizado en hipogastrio, acompañado de náuseas y vómitos, que se aliviaba con los analgésicos habituales. Se le realizó la prueba de embarazo cuyo resultado fue negativo y las imágenes ecográficas sugirieron la presencia de hematocolpos. Se le realizó himenotomía y egresó de la institución 48 horas después con evolución favorable.


The case report of a 12 years-old adolescent is described who had been admitted 5 years ago in the Intensive Therapy Service of Antonio María Béguez Caesar Southern Teaching Pediatric Hospital in Santiago de Cuba staphylococcal disease and primary amenorrhoea. This time she attended the service with recurrent abdominal pain for 3 months, located in hypogastrium, accompanied by nauseas and vomits that were alleviated with the habitual analgesic ones. The pregnancy test was carried out with negative result and the echographic images suggested hematocolpus. The himenotomy was practiced and was discharged from the institution 48 hours later with favorable clinical course.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Transverse vaginal septum is a rare female genital tract anomaly, and little is described about its surgical treatment. We report the case of a patient who wished to preserve hymenal integrity due to social and cultural beliefs. We performed a vaginoscopic resection of the septum under laparoscopic view, followed by the introduction of a Foley catheter in the vagina, thus preserving the hymen. After 12 months of follow-up, no septal closure was present, and the menstrual flow was effective. Vaginoscopic hysteroscopy is an effectivemethod of vaginal septum resection, even in cases in which hymenal integrity must be preserved due to social and cultural beliefs.


Resumo Septo vaginal transverso é uma anomalia rara do trato genital feminino, e pouco é descrito sobre o tratamento cirúrgico. Relatamos o caso de uma paciente que desejava preservar a integridade do hímen devido a crenças sociais e culturais. Realizamos ressecção vaginoscópica do septo sob visão laparoscópica, seguida da introdução de um cateter de Foley na vagina, preservando assim o hímen. Após 12 meses de acompanhamento, não havia fechamento do septo, e o fluxo menstrual era eficaz. A histeroscopia vaginoscópica é um método eficaz de ressecção dos septos vaginais, incluindo os casosemque a integridade do hímen deve ser mantida devido a crenças sociais e culturais.

ABSTRACT

Los trastornos congénitos del tracto genital femenino se presentan con una incidencia de 1: 10 000-20 000 nacidas vivas, tienen un amplio espectro de manifestaciones clínicas, se describe su detección de manera bimodal, con complicaciones que incluso pueden amenazar con la vida, sin embargo, con un tratamiento oportuno las pacientes pueden tener un buen pronóstico. Se reporta el caso de una paciente de 13 años con cuadro de retención urinaria súbita, estreñimiento agudo, sin menarca y características sexuales adecuadas para la edad, en quien se identificó himen imperforado, hematocolpos. Se descartaron otros posibles diagnósticos diferenciales y el manejo definitivo fue himenotomía más himenoplastía. El himen imperforado hace parte de los trastornos más frecuentes del desarrollo de los genitales femeninos, puede tener múltiples manifestaciones clínicas, leves y severas, con una adecuada identificación, se puede brindar un tratamiento oportuno, y evitar secuelas.


Congenital disorders of female genital tract occurs with an incidence of 1: 10 000 - 20 000 born alive, have a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, their detection is described bimodally, with complications that may even threaten life, however, with timely treatment patients can have a good prognosis. We report the case of a 13-year-old patient with a sudden urinary retention, acute constipation, no menarche, and age appropriate sexual characteristics, in whom an imperforate hymen, hematocolpos was identified. Other possible differential diagnoses were ruled out and the management was hymenotomy plus hymenoplasty. The imperforate hymen is part of the most frequent developmental disorders of the female genitals, it can have multiple clinical manifestations, mild and severe, however, with an adequate identification, it can be given an opportune treatment, good prognosis and avoiding consequences.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Antecedentes: El síndrome de hemivagina obstruida, útero didlefo y anomalía renal ipsilateral (OVHIRA) es una malformación mülleriana infrecuente. Objetivo: Se presenta un caso con una complicación no antes descrita y se hace una revisión de la literatura hasta la fecha. Caso clínico: Mujer de 12 años de edad con antecedentes de diagnóstico de útero bicorne y agenesia renal derecha en la infancia. Veintidós meses post menarquia consulta por algia pelviana y dismenorrea premenstrual. Ecografía revela hematómetra en cuerpo uterino izquierdo, de 142 x 69 x 61 mm. Resonancia nuclear magnética (RNM) describe además un hematocolpos de 7 x 10 cm y un tabique vaginal transverso de hemivagina izquierda. Se diagnostica OHVIRA y se planifica cirugía para resecar el tabique. Días antes del la cirugía, la paciente tiene episodio de metrorragia. Ecográficamente se constata una disminución considerable del volumen de hematómetra. En la cirugía se pesquisa fístula uterina que comunica útero obstruido izquierdo con útero no obstruido derecho por donde había drenado espontáneamente la hematómetra. Al resecar el tabique vaginal izquierdo se termina de drenar hematómetra y hematocolpos. Al alta, paciente se maneja con dilatación vaginal progresiva por seis meses para evitar la estenosis del tabique. Conclusión: Se presenta una complicación no descrita, fístula útero uterina, de una malformación mülleriana infrecuente (OVHIRA). El proceso diagnóstico meticuloso, la cirugía bien planificada y la dilatación vaginal prolongada permitieron tener éxito en su manejo.


ABSTRACT Background: Obstructed Hemivagina and Ipsilateral Renal Anomaly Syndrome (OHVIRA) is an uncommon Müllerian anomaly. Objective: A case is described and the main complications related to the syndrome are reviewed. Case report: Female, 12 years old, with a medical history of a bicornuate uterus and right renal agenesis diagnosed at birth. Twenty-two months post menarche she seeks medical attention due to pelvic pain, menometrorrhagia and premenstrual dysmenorrhea. An ultrasound revealed a hematometra, of 142 x 69 x 61 mm, in the left uterus. Magnetic resonance imaging also described a 7 x 10 cm hematocolpos and a transverse vaginal septum of the left hemivagina. OHVIRA is diagnosed and surgery is planned to resect the septum. Two days before the surgery, the patient has an episode of abundant metrorrhagia. Ultrasonographically a considerable decrease in the volume of the hematometra is observed. In surgery, a uterine fistula is discovered which communicates the left obstructed uterus with the right unobstructed uterus, where the hematometra had been partially drained. During the procedure, the left vaginal septum is resected, which completes the drainage of the hematometra and hematocolpos. At discharge, the patient undergoes progressive vaginal dilation for six months to avoid stenosis of the septum. Conclusion: An utero-uterine fistula has not been previously described as a complication of OHVIRA. The meticulous diagnostic process, the well planned surgery and the prolonged vaginal dilation allowed for a successful management.

ABSTRACT

El tabique vaginal transverso es una anomalía que se originaría por un fracaso en la fusión y/o canalización del seno urogenital y de los conductos müllerianos con baja frecuencia, pero con un importante impacto en la salud de las pacientes que lo presentan. El tratamiento es quirúrgico y la vía de abordaje depende de la localización y del espesor del tabique. En ocasiones, se ha relacionado con una herencia que podría ser recesiva asociada al sexo, pero se han documentado pocos casos de asociación familiar. Se exponen los casos de dos hermanas que presentaron esta rara entidad con 5 años de diferencia y que se diagnosticaron por la aparición de dolor abdominal hipogástrico intenso a la edad de 11 y 12 años, cuando presentaban un desarrollo puberal estadio III de Tanner y amenorrea primaria.


Transverse vaginal septum is a disorder that would arise from a failure in the fusion and/or channeling of the urogenital sinus and the müllerian ducts with low frequency but with a significant impact on the health of patients. The treatment is surgical and it will depend on the location and thickness of the septum. Sometimes, it described a female sex-limited autosomal recessive transmission but few cases of family association have been reported. We present the cases of two sisters who had this rare entity 5 years apart and were diagnosed by the presentation of an intense hypogastric abdominal pain at the age of 11 and 12 years when they had a Tanner stage III pubertal development and primary amenorrhea.

ABSTRACT

We present a case of complete vaginal stenosis in a woman diagnosed with Sheehan’s syndrome. The patient delivered at full-term 5 months prior, and experienced massive postpartum bleeding at that time. During evaluation of persistent amenorrhea, we found that her vaginal orifice was completely adhesive and obstructed. Prior to corrective surgery, we managed the patient with an oral contraceptive to induce uterine bleeding into the vaginal outflow tract. After three cycles of an oral contraceptive, we could confirm that there was no stenotic lesion in the vaginal cavity as a hematocolpos was created. Adhesiolysis with scar revision for the vaginal stenosis was successfully performed; it was found that the lesion was limited to only the distal part of the vaginal outlet. Complete vaginal stenosis in reproductive age women with hypopituitarism has not been reported. The artificial induction of hematometrocolpos before surgery was useful in determining the extent of the stenotic lesion, and assured safety.

ABSTRACT

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome is a rare, congenital genitourinary anomaly involving the Müllerian and Wolffian structures, and is characterized by the triad of uterine didelphys, obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. It usually presents in adolescent girls in whom hematometrocolpos produces a pronounced mass effect and pain on the side of the obstructed hemivagina. Accurate diagnosis and surgical treatment can be delayed for several months or even years. Here, we report a case of a 12-year-old girl who presented to the emergency department with lower abdominal pain and mass that had lasted for 2 weeks. After the confirmation of HWW syndrome with magnetic resonance imaging, hysteroscopic septostomy was carried out as a definitive treatment. When we evaluate adolescent girls with lower abdominal pain and mass, we should consider the possibility of HWW syndrome.

ABSTRACT

El himen imperforado es una anomalía congénita del desarrollo genital femenino. A pesar de ser la anomalía obstructiva más frecuente, presenta una incidencia estimada del 0,1% de las recién nacidas. Su diagnóstico es principalmente clínico, habitualmente ante la presencia de dolor abdominal cíclico en una adolescente que no ha presentado la menarquia. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 12 años de edad que acudió al Servicio de Urgencias por dolor abdominal intenso, acompañado de alteración del hábito intestinal de dos días de evolución. Tras una detallada anamnesis y exploración física, es diagnosticada de himen imperforado con el apoyo de las pruebas complementarias. El cuadro clínico se resolvió tras la realización de una himenectomía.


Imperforate hymen is a congenital anomaly of female genital development. Although it is the most common obstructive anomaly has an estimated incidence of 0.1% of newborn. The diagnosis is primarily clinical, usually in the presence of cyclic abdominal pain in an adolescent who has not submitted menarche. We report the case of a 12 years old woman came to the emergency department by abdominal intense pain accompanied by altered bowel habit in two days. After a detailed history and physical examination, was diagnosed with imperforate hymen with the support of additional tests. The clinical symptoms resolved after performing a hymenectomy.

ABSTRACT

Primary amenorrhoea with microperforate transverse vaginal septum is a rare entity with varied incidence in different parts of the world. It may be asymptomatic, unlike imperforate hymen. Depending on the size of the microperforation in transverse vaginal septum clinical features may vary similar to those found in imperforate hymen cases. We report two cases of a 25 and 22-year-old women who sought the gynaecologist with complains of primary infertility. They had normal menses with one of them having secondary dysmenorrhea. Physical examination and imaging disclosed microperforation of transverse vaginal septum in the upper part of the vagina at mid point position. Resection of the septum under anesthesia was done. The outcome was favourable and 25 year asymptomatic patient with primary infertility at the present moment have conceived carrying six weeks pregnancy and second patient is in follow up. We conclude that this anomaly may be overlooked, interfering on its incidence determination. The finding of transverse vaginal septum in an asymptomatic infertility patient is highly unusual. Clinicians must be aware of atypical presentations and potential multifactorial etiologies of primary infertility. Ensuring a thorough evaluation is essential in order to mitigate long-term effects of a misdiagnosis.

ABSTRACT

We report the case of a 14-year-old girl who visited the emergency room because of suprapubic discomfort and sudden acute urinary retention. She did not have any significant medical and surgical history, and her neurological examinations were all normal. Urinary catheterization led to the passage of 500 mL urine. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a hematocolpos that was compressing the urinary bladder. Gynecologic history taking revealed that the patient has not had menarche yet. Therefore, a cruciate incision was performed and her urination became normal. As the surgical outcome after adequate hymenotomy for imperforate hymen is usually good, the diagnosis of imperforate hymen is important. However, this condition is easily missed in the clinic because the first physician visited by the patient rarely takes a detailed gynecologic history or performs appropriate physical examinations. Although rare, imperforate hymen should be considered as a cause of acute urinary retention in the adolescence period. If an adolescent girl presents with abdominal pain and voiding dysfunction, a detailed gynecologic history and appropriate physical examinations of the genital introitus should be performed.

ABSTRACT

El himen imperforado es una anomalía congénita del desarrollo genital femenino. Es una patología poco frecuente, con una incidencia estimada del 0,1% de los recién nacidos del sexo femenino. En muchas ocasiones, el diagnóstico pasa inadvertido hasta la pubertad y debuta con dolor abdominal cíclico en adolescentes que no han presentado la menarquia. El diagnóstico se basa en la anamnesis y la exploración física, aunque las pruebas complementarias, en especial la ecografía, permiten la comprobación del diagnóstico clínico y la exclusión de otras malformaciones genitales. Se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente de 13 años que fue diagnosticada tras consultar en varias ocasiones por dolor abdominal recurrente.


The imperforate hymen is a congenital anomaly of the female genital development. This is a rare pathology with an estimated incidence of 0.1% in female newborns. In many cases, the diagnosis goes unnoticed until puberty, debuting with cyclical abdominal pain in adolescents who have not submitted menarche. Diagnosis is based on history and physical examination, although additional tests, especially the ultrasound that allows to confrm clinical diagnosis and to exclude other genital malformations. We report a case of a 13-year-old that was diagnosed after consulting several times for recurrent abdominal pain.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOS: El hidro y/o hematocolpos es una condición patológica rara, de incidencia 1/16.000 niñas, que consiste en la dilatación de vagina y/o útero por material líquido o hemático. Sus diferentes formas de presentación y especialmente al grupo etario que afecta, puede ser un diagnostico no siempre fácil como también un manejo inadecuado puede determinar diferentes complicaciones de diversa gravedad. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar los casos tratados en el servicio de urología pediátrica de acuerdo al grupo etario que correspondió su debut clínico. Material y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo de pacientes con diagnóstico de hidro o hematocolpos entre los años 2007 y 2011. Se analizan datos demográficos, patologías asociadas, tratamiento y complicaciones. Resultados: Se analizaron 8 niñas, todas con ambigüedad genital al nacer, 7 con hiperplasia suprarrenal congénita. En 6 pacientes se realiza examen endoscópico bajo anestesia general que confirma la presencia de un seno urogenital (SUG) a una edad promedio de 36 meses (r 3m-12a). La edad promedio de presentación del hidrocolpos fue de 6 años (r 1m - 14 a) con un peak entre los 0-2 años y a los 11-14 años, diagnóstico confirmado mediante ecografía. Otras patologías asociadas fueron: cardiopatía congénita (1) e ITU recurrente (5). Una paciente presentó una sobreinfección del hidrocolpos con shock séptico asociado. En dos pacientes (11 y 14 años) se ha realizado el descenso en bloque, 3 pacientes se drena el hidrocolpos por vía endoscópica (cistoscopía). Conclusiones: El hidrocolpos es una patología rara, pero que se debe tener presente especialmente en diagnostico prenatal y/o recién nacidos que se estudian por masa pelviana y/o abdominal, en pacientes con SUG; ya que su detección precoz y tratamiento pueden evitar consecuencias graves como shock séptico de origen uroginecológico.


INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: hydro and / or hematocolpos are a rare pathological condition, incidence 1/16.000 girls, which involves dilation of vagina and / or uterus with hematic fluid or material. Due to its different forms of presentation and especially the affected age group, diagnosis may not always be easy as improper Management can determine different complications of varying severity. The aim of this paper is to analyze the cases treated in our pediatric urology service according to age group of clinical debut. Material and methods: Retrospective study of patients diagnosed with hydro or hematocolpos between 2007 and 2011. Demographics, co morbidities, treatment and complications were analyzed. Results: 8 girls, all with ambiguous genitalia at birth, 7 with congenital adrenal hyperplasia were analyzed. In 6 patients endoscopic examination performed under general anesthesia confirmed the presence of a urogenital sinus (SUG) at an average age of 36 months (r 3m-12a). The average age of hydrocolpos presentation was 6 years (r 1m - 14) with a peak between 0-2 years and 11-14 years, confirmed by ultrasound diagnosis. Other associated diseases were: congenital heart disease (1) and recurrent UTI (5). One patient had a superinfection of hydrocolpos associated with septic shock. In two patients (11 and 14y.o.) an “en bloc” descent was performed, in 3 patients the hydrocolpos was drained endoscopically (cystoscopy). Conclusiones: hydrocolpos is a rare condition, but it must be especially considered in prenatal diagnosis and / or infants studied by pelvic and / or abdominal mass, in patients with SUG, as early detection and treatment can prevent serious consequences as septic shock of urogynecological origin.

ABSTRACT

El hematocolpos no es común en nuestro medio, sigue a alteraciones en la génesis del aparato genitourinario femenino; entre las cuales, el himen imperforado es la malformación congénita más frecuente. La sintomatología suele ser variable e inespecífica; el dolor abdominal y los síntomas urinarios es la forma de presentación clínica más usual. La ecografía abdominal-pélvica y la tomografía axial computarizada confirman el diagnóstico y ayudan a descartar otras malformaciones asociadas. Se presentó un caso de una adolescente afectada por esta enfermedad.


The hematocolpos is not common disease. It follow to the alterations in the genesis of female urogenital apparatus among which the imperforate hymen is the most common congenital malformation. The symptoms are variable and nonspecific. The abdominal pain and urinary symptoms is the most common clinical presentation. Abdominal-pelvic ultrasonography and computed tomography help to confirm the diagnosis as well as to find other associated malformations. This article presented a case of an adolescent affected by this disease.
