Abstract

Pyometrocolpos resulting from congenital obstructing lesions can present during early childhood and adolescence with varying signs and symptoms. Children with pyometrocolpos due to distal vaginal obstruction may present as acutely ill with obstructive uropathy and septicaemia. We present a case of a two year old girl with pyometrocolpos in whom drainage under anaesthesia lead to marked improvement of her clinical symptoms.

Key Words: Congenital obstructing lesions, Distal vaginal obstruction pyometrocolpos
