- Acute urinary retention in children is rare, often linked to urinary tract infections or obstructions.
- A 12-year-old girl experienced acute urinary retention, which was diagnosed as hematocolpos due to an obstructed hymen, confirmed by ultrasound.
- Treatment involved a hymen incision, and it's crucial to consider hematocolpos in young females without menstrual cycles who present with urinary retention symptoms.
Article Abstract
Acute urinary retention is uncommon in pediatric age and is usually associated with infection or obstruction of the urinary tract. We present the case of a 12-year-old girl admitted to the emergency room with acute urinary retention and lower urinary tract symptoms. Physical examination revealed abdominal distension and a blue-bulging mass occupying the vaginal introitus. Ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of hematocolpos and revealed hydronephrosis, caused by compression. Kidney function and urinalysis were normal. A hymen incision and excision of redundant tissue were performed without complications. Hematocolpos is a condition caused by obstructive uterovaginal deformity. Imperforate hymen is responsible for most of the cases and usually manifests as primary amenorrhea and cyclic lower abdominal pain. The diagnosis of hematocolpos can be challenging. However, it is important to consider it in female adolescents without menarche presenting with acute urinary retention.

Objectives: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of "en-bloc" Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) with trainee involvement in patients with prostates larger than 200 cc.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients undergoing HoLEP using the "en-bloc" technique for prostate sizes > 200 cc between July-2017 and December-2023 at an academic teaching hospital. Perioperative data was collected, including patient demographics, clinical parameters, operative details and functional outcomes.
