Hydrocolpos, vaginal atresia, and urethrovaginal fistula in a neonate: abdomino-perineal-vaginal pull-through.

The combination of high maternal estrogenic stimulation of the secretory glands of the reproductive tract of the newborn female and vaginal obstruction results in an abdominal mass due to vaginal distention (hydrocolpos). Prior experience with two infants with hydrocolpos (LG) led us to perform abdomino-perineal-vaginal pull-through, as advocated by Ramenofsky and Raffensperger, in the newborn period. So far as we can ascertain this is only the second infant so reported in the literature.
