Abstract

Lower abdominal pain with lower urinary tracts symptoms in young girls presented to Emergency Department (ED) is urinary tract infection (UTI) until proven otherwise. We reported a case of classic UTI presentation with unusual finding of hematocolpos. We believed the unusual circumstance of this case is likely to be repeated in some other clinical practice and such differential diagnoses should be considered.
