⚡ TL;DR(Too Long; Didn't Read)

In the present study, we report on a neonatal hydrometrocolpos case manifesting as an abdominal cyst associated with intrauterine vaginal atresia and causing bilateral hydronephrosis, urosepsis, and respiratory distress.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Hydrometrocolpos is a clinical condition that arises from vaginal outflow obstruction during fetal life and rarely manifests with an abdominal cystic mass in the neonatal period.
📊
Key Findings & Data:In cases with delayed diagnosis, urinary complications, respiratory distress, and gastrointestinal obstructions may occur and thus a prompt diagnosis is of prime importance for the prevention of such complications via surgical drainage and repair.

Abstract

Hydrometrocolpos is a clinical condition that arises from vaginal outflow obstruction during fetal life and rarely manifests with an abdominal cystic mass in the neonatal period. In cases with delayed diagnosis, urinary complications, respiratory distress, and gastrointestinal obstructions may occur and thus a prompt diagnosis is of prime importance for the prevention of such complications via surgical drainage and repair. In the present study, we report on a neonatal hydrometrocolpos case manifesting as an abdominal cyst associated with intrauterine vaginal atresia and causing bilateral hydronephrosis, urosepsis, and respiratory distress.

Özet

Hidrometrokolpos fetal hayatta vajenin ve uterusun çıkış yolu obstrüksiyonu sonucu meydana gelir. Yenidoğan döneminde çok nadir olarak karında kistik kitle ile kendini gösterir. Tanının gecikildiği olgularda üriner komplikasyonlar, solunum sıkıntısı ve gastrointestinal obstrüksiyonlar gelişebilir. Erken cerrahi drenaj ve onarım ile bu komplikasyonların önüne geçilebilir. Bu çalışmada intrauterin vajinal atreziye bağlı karında kistik kitleyle kendini gösteren; bilateral hidronefroz, ürosepsis ve solunum problemlerine neden olan hidrometrokolpos olgusunu sunduk.
