Clinical picture varies from abdominal pain and low back pain to acute urinary retention. We describe a case of a 16-month-old female infant where the imperforate hymen presented as a vaginal cyst. The cyst was first observed by the patient\u2019s mother, although the child had been examined by a paediatrician on several occasions after birth. Complete workup performed for differential diagnosis, mostly to exclude other reproductive system anomalies, led to the final diagnosis of imperforate hymen. The aim of this report is to emphasise the necessity of thorough examination of genitalia in female newborns in order to avoid possible complications associated with this diagnosis later in life, as well as other, more severe differential diagnostic anomalies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0036933015615263","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,9]],"date-time":"2015-12-09T21:56:06Z","timestamp":1449698166000},"page":"48-50","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Imperforate hymen presenting as vaginal cyst in a 16-month-old child \u2013 considerations for an early diagnosis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"61","author":[{"given":"Nedeljka","family":"Glavan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1Pediatric Surgeon, Department of Pediatrics Surgery, University Hospital Centre Rijeka, Rijeka, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Herman","family":"Haller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor and Chair of the Department of Gynecology, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Hospital Centre Rijeka, Rijeka, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alemka","family":"Brn\u010di\u0107\u2013Fischer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gynecologist, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Hospital Centre Rijeka, Rijeka, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lana","family":"Glavan-Ga\u010danin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gynecologist, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Hospital Centre Rijeka, Rijeka, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Damir","family":"Mileti\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor and Chair of the Department of Radiology, Department of Radiology, University Hospital Centre Rijeka, Rijeka, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nives","family":"Jonji\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor and Chair of the Department of Pathology, Department of Pathology, School of Medicine, University of Rijeka, Rijeka, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0036933015615263","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1442-200X.2011.03422.x"},{"key":"bibr2-0036933015615263","unstructured":"Kliegman RM, Stanton BMDSt., Gene J, Nelson textbook of pediatrics, 19th ed.
