ABSTRACT
INTRODUCCIÓN: El himen imperforado es la malformación congénita más frecuente del tracto genital femenino. La mayoría de los casos no se pesquisan en la infancia, debido a un examen genital insuficiente. Su diagnóstico y resolución deben ser precoces y definitivas para evitar complicaciones posteriores. OBJETIVO: Presentar el caso de una lactante portadora de himen imperforado, y actualizar la información sobre las técnicas de examen genital para detectar esta patología en forma precoz y su tratamiento. CASO CLÍNICO: Lactante de 3 meses, consultó por aumento de volumen protruyente en la zona del introito. En el examen físico se realizó maniobra de valsalva que dio salida a una masa homogénea, nacarada de superficie lisa, entre los labios mayores, sugerente himen imperforado. Se complementó el estudio con ultrasonido ginecológico, el que demostró la presencia de hidrocolpos, descartando otras anomalías. Se realizó una himenotomía, que dio salida a abundante material seroso, sin mal olor, y luego se completó la himenectomía mediante la resección de la membrana himeneal. En control al 4to mes posterior a la intervención se constató un himen ampliamente permeable. CONCLUSIÓN: Los equipos de atención neonatal, requieren capacitación acerca de la técnica correcta del examen genital externo de la recién nacida y lactante. La himenectomía es la técnica que permite resolver definitiva mente el cuadro evitando complicaciones.
INTRODUCTION: Imperforated hymen is the most frequent congenital malformation of the female genital tract. Most cases are not investigated in childhood, due to an insufficient genital examination. Its diagnosis and resolution must be early and definitive to avoid subsequent complications. OBJECTIVE: A clinical case of an infant with imperforated himen is presented. To update on genital examination technique necessary to detect this pathology in the newborn and infants, and the proper treatment. CLINICAL CASE: 3-months-old infant that consulted due to an increase in bulging volume in the introitus area. In the physical examination, the Valsalva's maneuver was performed allowed the ex pulsion of a homogeneous pearly mass with a smooth surface, between the labia majora, suggesting imperforate hymen. The study was complemented with gynecological ultrasound, which demons trated the presence of hydrocolpos, ruling out other anomalies. A hymenotomy was performed, which allowed for the evacuation of abundant serous material, with no bad smell, and then the hymenectomy was completed by resection of the hymenal membrane. In follow-up monitoring 4 months after the intervention, a widely permeable hymen was found. CONCLUSION: Neonatal care teams require training on the correct technique of external genital examination of the newborn and infant. Hymenectomy is the technique that allows definitely resolving the condition, avoiding complications.

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.

O hímen imperfurado (HI) é a causa congênita mais comum de obstrução do fluxo genital no sexo feminino. Embora seja detectável em todas as faixas etárias pela inspeção da genitália externa, o HI é um diagnóstico que muitas vezes passa despercebido. Relatamos o caso de uma adolescente virgem, com desenvolvimento normal de caracteres sexuais secundários, ausência de menarca, que apresentou um quadro clínico de abdome agudo secundário à hematocolpo por hímen imperfurado.
Imperforate hymen is the most common congenital cause of genital flow obstruction in females. Although it is noticeable in all ages by the inspection of external genitalia, imperforate hymen is commonly misdiagnosed. We present a case in which a virgo intacta adolescent, with normal secondary sexual characters, without menarche, that evolved to acute abdomen and hematocolpus due to imperforate hymen.

A imperfuração himenal é uma anomalia na qual o orifício vaginal é totalmente ocluído, o que retém a secreção menstrual. A incidência é variável com taxas de 0,014% a 0,1% em fetos a termo. No período pré-púbere, geralmente é assintomática. Descreve-se o caso de uma paciente de 15 anos de idade que procurou atendimento médico com queixa de dor no abdome inferior, aumento de volume abdominal progressivo em um ano e piora na primeira semana de cada mês. A história e o exame físico direcionaram ao diagnóstico de imperfuração himenal, confirmada como massa cística pélvica na ultrassonografia. O propósito deste relato é ilustrar a ocorrência de imperfuração himenal e seguimento pela ultrassonografia posterior à himenectomia, indicando prognóstico bom nos casos de imperfuração himenal sem anomalias do trato urinário.
The imperforate hymen is an anomaly in which the vaginal opening is completely occluded, causing retention of menstrual discharge. The incidence is very controversial and variable, ranging from 0.014% to 0.1% in fetuses at term. In the pre-puberty are usually asymptomatic. The authors describe the case of a 15-year-old patient who sought medical care complaining of pain in lower abdomen, progressive abdominal distention in one year and a worsening in the first week of each month. The history and physical examination directed to the diagnosis of imperforate hymen confirmed as a cystic mass on pelvic ultrasound. The purpose of this report is to illustrate the occurrence of imperforate hymen and follow-up ultrasonography after himenectomia, indicating good prognosis in cases of imperforate hymen without urinary tract abnormalities.

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 hidrometrocolpos es una obstrucción a nivel del tracto genital femenino, que aparece en la etapa neonatal como una masa en hemiabdomen inferior, por encima de la sínfisis del pubis. Presentamos recién nacida pretérmino, con edad gestacional de 33,4 semanas por método de Capurro, producto de parto eutócico, apgar 2/5, peso 1954 gr, que presenta masa abdominal constatada durante la reanimación cardiopulmonar realizada inmediatamente después del nacimiento. Al examen físico posterior se observa la presencia de gran aumento de volumen en región perineal que afecta los genitales externos, borramiento del pliegue interglúteo, e himen imperforado. Durante el estudio se constata riñón poliquístico del lado derecho e hidronefrosis severa del lado izquierdo, así como gran masa intrabdominal de contenido líquido. Se plantea el diagnóstico de hidrometrocolpos y se procede a la realización de intervención quirúrgica que consistió en perforación del himen, obteniéndose la salida de aproximadamente 200ml de líquido procedente de la vagina. Después de lo cual se produce la regresión de las estructuras anatómicas paulatinamente.
The hydrometrocolpos is an obstruction at the level of female genital tract that appears during the neonatal stage as a mass in the lower hemi abdomen, over the synphisis of the pubis. It is presented a 33, 4-weeks-gestational-newborn girl, by means of Bud method, due to a euthocic birth, apgar 5/2, and weight 1954gr, who has an abdominal mass noted during the Cardiopulmonar reanimation made immediately after her birth. In the later physical exam it is observed the presence of a great increasement of volume in the perineal area that affects the external genitals, erasing of the intergluteal fold, imperforated hymen. During this study it is also noted polycystic kidney disease in the right side and a sever hydronephrohydrosis in the left side, as well as a great intra-abdominal mass with a liquid content. The diagnosis of hydrometrocolpus is posed and then a surgery is made to pierce the hymen, obtaining the outlet of 200ml of liquid approximately, coming from the vagina. After this, the regression of the anatomical structures is gradually produced.

Apresentam-se dois casos de hematometrocolpos: uma adolescente com massa abdominal e amenorréia primária e uma senhora tratada de uma neoplasia de cérvix por radioterapia e que retornou cerca de 1 ano depois apresentando dor abdominal intensa. Ambos os casos evoluiram satisfatoriamente, apesar de levarem a alguma dificuldade diagnóstica. Chama-se a atençäo para o quadro clínico das pacientes onde prevaleceu a amenorréia, cólicas intermitentes e massa no hipogástrico. O uso da ultra-sonografia é avaliado como arma propedêutica
