Publication Successful hymenectomy in a young girl in imperforate hymen(Institute of Medicine, 1998) Singh, Meeta; Rana, Asma; Jha, Rajshree; Gurung, Geeta; Thapa, BimalAbstract An imperforate hymen may exist at the lower end of the vagina. This is due to failure in breakdown of the partition between the mullerian and sinovaginal bulb, contributing to the formation of vagina. We are presenting a case of a fourteen-year girl who was diagnosed as haematocolpus with imperforate hymen from history and clinical examination. Diagnosis was reconfirmed with abdominal ultrasonogram after evacuation of bladder, who had urgent surgical treatment (incision and excision) and relief of symptoms of lower abdominal pain and inability to pass urine.
