Stevens-Johnson syndrome frequently affects the genitalia. Vaginal problems have been recognized in female patients; however, reports about the problem and its treatment are rare. Labial sinechiae have not yet been reported as sequelae of Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Amenorrhea, cyclical abdominal

Imperforate hymen, though a congenital anomaly, usually presents late in puberty as lower abdominal pain, primary amenorrhea, and cyclical pain. Blood collects in vagina and uterus, proximal to imperforate hymen leading to their distention. Its presentation at infancy is a rare entity. We report

We present the case of an elite gymnast who, after 6 months of symptoms and a series of incorrect diagnoses, was diagnosed with hydrocolpos. It is likely that

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the role of laparoscopy in the management of vaginal malformations in children, a subject not often discussed in the literature. METHODS Between 1980 and 2002, we treated 22 children for vaginal malformations. Two main patient populations were

OBJECTIVE Gynecologic anomalies are common in patients with persistent cloaca, but, except for hydrocolpos, these patients remain asymptomatic in the neonatal period. Anatomic abnormalities may become manifest in puberty when menses occurs. The authors sought to describe the sequelae of these

OBJECTIVE Hematocolpos or hydrocolpos in menstruating women raises suspicion of a partial uterine or vaginal obstruction. The study objective is to report two unusual cases of a spastic pelvic floor leading to urine collecting in the vagina and mimicking an outflow obstruction. METHODS The study
