title: [Hematocolpos due to obstructed hemivagina. About three cases].
abstract: Abnormalities of the reproductive tract interest a little more than 1% of the women. The symptoms are not specific: abdominal pain seems like appendicitis, invalidating dysmenorrheas in the girl, urinary manifestations. They should be discovered and treated because they could bring about obstetric complications later. We present three observations, illustrated with a recent review of the literature, and describe the diagnostic difficulties and their surgical treatments.
