title: [A case of atresia hymenalis in a pubescent girl with complaint of dysuria].
abstract: A 12-year-old girl was referred to the National Hospital Organization Nara Hospital complaining of dysuria and lower abdominal pain. On examination of the external genitalia, vaginal opening was closed completely. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed atresia hymenalis with hematocolpos. Hymenal incision was carried out and clinical symptoms were improved. Seventy-eight cases of atresia hymenalis reported in the Japanese literature since 1987 are reviewed. It is necessary to include atresia hymenalis in diagnosis of voiding difficulty in pubescent girls.
