Аннотация
STUDY DESIGN: A case report.
OBJECTIVE: To document the occurrence of hematocolpos causing sciatica and leg weakness in an adolescent girl.
SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Low back pain resulting from hematocolpos has been reported previously but not associated with symptoms of sciatica or neurologic weakness.
METHODS: The authors were involved in the care of this patient, and all medical records, radiologic investigations, and related literature were reviewed.
RESULTS: After being checked for longstanding symptoms of sciatica and leg weakness, the patient underwent a computed tomographic examination of lumbar spine, which showed a large collection in the pelvis consistent with hematocolpos. Surgical drainage of the collection was associated with complete resolution of her symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS: Awareness of hematocolpos as a possible cause for sciatica and neurologic symptoms in the lower limbs may lead to earlier diagnosis and, therefore, reduced morbidity in the investigation of the adolescent girl.
