Prenatal diagnosis of an abdomino-pelvic hydrometrocolpos; a case report.

The authors describe a case of prenatal diagnosis of hydrometrocolpos performed at 35 weeks of ammenorhea. Diagnosis was based on fetal images of a rounded, solid, pelvic mass increasing rapidly, which evoked vaginal and uterine distension. No associated anomaly was found. This very unusual genital malformation required treatment at birth. This case shows that hydrometrocolpos can be evidenced by prenatal ultra-sonography allowing early treatment and prevention of complications.
