Background:
Uterus didelphys with obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis usually presents after menarche with progressive abdominal pain during menses secondary to hematocolpos. We describe a case with the unique presentation of rectal pain and constipation.
Case:
A 13-year-old girl presented to the emergency department complaining of lower abdominal and rectal pain and constipation of two weeks' duration. Pelvic ultrasound, physical examination and laparoscopic findings established a diagnosis of hematometracolpos secondary to uterus didelphys with unilateral imperforate hemivagina. An incision in the vaginal septum allowed drainage of the hematocolpos, providing relief of the patient's symptoms.
Conclusion:
Uterus didelphys with unilateral imperforate hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis may present with apparent gastrointestinal symptoms. With increased awareness of this problem, timely diagnosis may be achieved.
