ABSTRACT
Os autores relatam um caso de hímen imperfurado congênito determinando volumoso hidrocolpo em recém-nascido. Esta anomalia é uma condição rara, pois a maioria dos casos de hímen imperfurado é diagnosticada na fase pré-púbere com o atraso da menarca. O objetivo deste relato é demonstrar os achados ultrassonográficos do hidrocolpo no recém-nato e realizar uma breve revisão de literatura sobre o assunto. É de fundamental importância nestes pacientes o rastreamento de outras malformações congênitas que podem estar associadas ao quadro.
The authors report a case of newborn hydrocolpos secondary to congenital imperforate hymen. This anomaly is a rare condition, since most cases of imperforate hymen are diagnosed in the prepubertal period with the delay of menarche. The objective of this report is to demonstrate ultrasound findings of newborn hydrocolpos and make a review of literature about it. It is vital to search other congenital malformations that may be associated.

El himen imperforado es una patología poco frecuente del tracto genital femenino. Presentamos un caso de himen imperforado, en una paciente virgen de 17 años de edad con amenorrea, dolores en bajo vientre de forma cíclica con intervalos de más o menos 15 días y un aumento de volumen en hipogastrio, la que fue atendida durante nuestra misión médica realizada en el hermano país de Venezuela. Se realizó ecografía abdominopélvica con la vejiga llena y se observaron imágenes sugestivas de colpohematometra. La paciente fue intervenida quirúrgicamente, se le realizó incisión y resección de la porción central de la membrana himeneal, con evacuación del contenido sanguinolento, confirmándose el diagnóstico. No se presentaron otras complicaciones y la paciente fue dada de alta con evolución satisfactoria. Se revisó y actualizó la literatura al respecto.
