Abstract:
Microperforate hymen is a rare condition characterized by
a small pinpoint opening in the hymen. Compared to imperforate hymen,
girls born with microperforate hymen are prone to develop pyocolpos due
to the propensity for bacteria to ascend via the opening and colonize secretions
entrapped in the vagina. We are reporting the case of a 3 year old
girl who presented with purulent vaginal discharge and dysuria and was
found to have a microperforate hymen and pyocolpos, a rare condition
defined by the accumulation of pus in the vagina.
