Abstract

Urine retention in pediatric is rare. Usually is associated with stone impacted in urethra or congenital anomalies. We report in this case, 10 years old child presented with acute urinary retention. During the management of her urine retention by inserting Foleys catheter, we observed the bulging hymen, so we went for further investigation to role the underlying cause of retention. The ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of hematolcolpos, which we treated with cruciate incision.
