title: Imperforate hymen and urinary retention in a newborn girl.
abstract: Urinary retention is relatively rare in infants,especially in girls. Imperforate hymen is the most frequent congenital malformation of the female genital tract and is usually asymptomatic until puberty. Mucocolpos with an abdominal mass in neonatal age is extremely rare. We report a case of a 20-day-old newborn girl with acute urinary retention due to isolated imperforate hymen and mucocolpos.
