    Background:

    • Hydrometrocolpos is a rare congenital condition in neonates.
    • It involves the accumulation of fluid within the vagina and uterus.
    • Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent complications.

    Observation:

    • A neonate presented with hydrometrocolpos shortly after birth.
    • A significant fluid collection was noted in the distended vagina.
    • Hymenotomy was performed for fluid evacuation.

    Findings:

    • The neonate was successfully treated with fluid removal and hymenotomy.
    • The infant has remained in good health for over a year post-treatment.
    • A rapid diagnostic technique was employed for timely management.
