    Hydrometrocolpos and polydactyly in female infants with persistent urogenital sinus can be linked. Early diagnosis of this rare condition may be aided by cytologic examination of vaginal fluid.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • Persistent urogenital sinus is a rare congenital anomaly in female infants.
    • Hydrometrocolpos, the distension of the uterus and vagina with fluid, can present as an abdominal mass.
    • Polydactyly, the presence of extra fingers or toes, is a common congenital anomaly.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of female infants presented with both hydrometrocolpos and polydactyly.
    • Both infants had a persistent urogenital sinus.
    • Hydrometrocolpos was identified as the cause of an abdominal mass in these infants.

    Findings:

    • A correlation between hydrometrocolpos, polydactyly, and persistent urogenital sinus in female neonates is presented.
    • Cytologic examination of vaginal fluid is a potentially valuable tool for early diagnosis.

  • Prompt diagnosis is crucial for effective management of these complex congenital anomalies.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering hydrometrocolpos in the differential diagnosis of abdominal masses in neonates with polydactyly.
    • Suggests a potential diagnostic pathway involving cytologic analysis of vaginal secretions.
    • Emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach in managing infants with complex genitourinary and limb anomalies.
