Imperforate hymen is one of the rare causes of primary amenorrhea due to uterovaginal developmental anomaly. We report a case of imperforate hymen in a 14-year girl with primary amenorrhea who presented to us with cyclical abdominal pain, mass abdomen and dysuria. Local examination showed bulged and bluish hymen. Ultrasonography showed hematocolpos. She underwent hymenotomy through a cruciate incision and recovered well postoperatively. Hematocolpos should always be considered in a prepubertal girl who presents with primary amenorrhea, mass abdomen and urinary problems.

Rare Symptom

Hematocolpos is an obstruction of the menstrual flow due to an anomaly of the genital tract, with imperforate hymen being the most common one. It is an uncommon condition, with a prevalence of 1:1000 – 1:16 000. It is usually an asymptomatic condition until the onset of menarche, when there is accumulation of blood in the vagina (hematocolpos) or in the uterus (hematometra). A rare symptom of hematocolpos could be urinary retention. Our case report is about a 12-year-old girl, with no menarche and Tanner stage M4/P5, who was admitted to our emergency department with abdominal pain and urinary retention. A brief review of this rare condition is presented, in order to remind clinicians about its existence, so that it can be diagnosed and treated as quickly as possible.

Gonorrhea is the most frequently reported infectious disease in the United States. Salpingitis and periappendicitis secondary to vaginal gonorrhea are not unusual in the mature woman, but are rare in the prepubertal girl. We are reporting a case of vaginal gonorrhea, acute salpingitis, and periappendicitis in a 5-year-old girl. CASE REPORT An acutely ill 5-year-old girl with a two-week history of a thick, nonpruritic vaginal discharge and an 18-hour history of fever, vomiting, and severe abdominal pain was admitted for evaluation. There was a negative history of dysuria, constipation, diarrhea, introduction of vaginal foreign body, coitus, and molestation. Vital signs on admission were: temperature, 39.7 C orally; pulse, 120 beats per minute; respiration, 36 breaths per minute; and blood pressure 100/60.

Mesenteric Cysts

Einleitung: Bei der Differentialdiagnose von intraabdominalen Tumoren ist an die mesenterialen Zysten zu denken. Wir möchten mittels Fallbeispiel an diesen seltenen Befund erinnern. Fallbeispiel: Es handelt sich um eine 35-jährige Patientin mit zweiwöchiger Anamnese von progredienten Abdominalschmerzen. Die Abklärung mittels Sonographie und Computertomographie ergab einen 14 x 12 x 3cm grossen zystischen abdominalen Tumor ohne Beziehung zu Uterus, Adnexen oder Oberbauchorganen, worauf die Patientin laparotomiert und die Zyste reseziert wurde. Diskussion: Mesenteriale Zysten sind selten. Die Pathogenese ist unterschiedlich und die klinische wie auch die radiologische Diagnostik schwierig. Die Symptomatik reicht vom akuten Abdomen über unspezifische Abdominalbeschwerden bis hin zum asymptomatischen Zufallsbefund. Mesenteriale Zysten können entlang des gesamten Gastrointestinaltraktes vom Duodenum bis zum Rektum auftreten. Therapie der Wahl ist die Zystenresektion. Schlussfolgerungen: Mesenteriale Zysten sind seltene intraabdominale Befunde. Die definitive Diagnosesicherung und die Therapie besteht in der Resektion.

Introduction: The umbilical vein can become recanalised due to portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis but the condition is rarely clinically significant. Although bleeding from this enlarged vein is a known complication, the finding of thrombophlebitis has not been previously described. Case report: We report the case of a 62-year-old male with a history of liver cirrhosis due to alcoholic liver disease presenting to hospital with epigastric pain. A CT scan of the patient’s abdomen revealed a thrombus with surrounding inflammatory changes in a recanalised umbilical vein. The patient was managed conservatively and was discharged home the following day. Conclusion: Thrombophlebitis of a recanalised umbilical vein is a rare cause of abdominal pain in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Gall Stone Ileus

Gallstone ileus is an uncommon and often life-threatening complication of cholelithiasis. In this case report, we discuss a difficult diagnostic case of gallstone ileus presenting as small gut obstruction with ischemia. A 56-year-old female presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. A CT scan was performed and showed an evolving bowel obstruction with features of gut ischemia with pneumobilia although no frank hyper density suggestive of a gallstone was noted. The patient underwent emergency surgery and a 60 mm obstructing calculus was removed from the patient's jejunum, with a formal tube cholecystostomy. JMS 2018: 21 (2):117-119
