Özet
Hematometra, which is defined as accumulation of menstrual secretions in the uterine cavity, may not be diagnosed until the maturating adolescent fails to menstruate. Clinically, a lower abdominal mass and periodic abdominal pain may develop in these children after puberty. Here, a 13-year-old girl with menstrual flow who presented with symptoms of genital outflow tract obstruction is described. Copyright 2002, Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
