A case of a documented simulated \"acquired\" imperforate hymen is presented in this article. The patient, a 5-year-old girl, was the victim of sexual abuse. Initial examination showed tears, scars, and distortion of the hymen, laceration of the perineal body, and loss of normal anal tone. Follow-up evaluations over the next year showed progressive healing. By 7 months after the injury, the hymen was replaced by a thick, opaque scar with no orifice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Patients with an apparent imperforate hymen require a sensitive interview and careful visual inspection of the genital and anal areas to delineate signs of injury.
