This obstruction allows an accumulation of secretions from the infant cervical mucous glands in the vagina and uterus stimulated by maternal oestrogen (Wilson et al, 1978; Nyberg, 1990). The incidence is reported to be between one in 16 000 births (Westerhout et al, 1964) and one in 30 000 births (Hill & Hirsch, 1985). Although several cases of hydrometrocolpos have been reported in the world literature (Mahoney & Chamberlain, 1940; Spencer & Levy, 1962; Reed & Griscom, 1973), there are very few reports of the ultrasonographic appearances of this condition (Sailer, 1979; Sawhney et al, 1990). We present two cases of hydrometrocolpos which showed classical ultrasound features and review the literature on the subject. A 1-day-old white girl, the product of a normal pregnancy and delivery, presented with a fluctuating mass protruding from the vagina. Cl... |
