In cases with delayed diagnosis, urinary complications, respiratory distress, and gastrointestinal obstructions may occur and thus a prompt diagnosis is of prime importance for the prevention of such complications via surgical drainage and repair. In the present study, we report on a neonatal hydrometrocolpos case manifesting as an abdominal cyst associated with intrauterine vaginal atresia and causing bilateral hydronephrosis, urosepsis, and respiratory distress.</p>}, number={7}, journal={Journal of Surgery and Medicine}, author={Başaranoğlu, Murat and Karaman, Serap and Avci, Veli and Ayengin, Kemal and Karaman, Erbil}, year={2021}, month={Jul.}, pages={724–726} }
