Diagnosis and Management of Hydrometrocolpos in Infancy

Abstract
Three cases of hydrometrocolpos in infants are presented, which demonstrate that despite thorough documentation of clinical findings, misdiagnosis and ensuing mismanagement of this condition remain a problem. The presence of other genitourinary abnormalities and association with anomalies of the anorectal area make it imperative that these infants be evaluated, treated and followed by clinicians who are skilled in these areas. Introital revision may proceed at an early age to avoid the necessity of repeated drainage procedures and allow normal voiding, but close follow-up is necessary.
