Abstract
Hydrometrocolpos is a rare finding in newborns. It can be an isolated finding or may be associated with syndromes. Antenatal diagnosis is possible. It is due to the accumulation of secretion in the uterus, distending it and resulting in abdominal swelling. In case of suspected syndromes, an attempt should be made to look for other organ involvement and genetic diagnosis. We here report a term neonate with hydrometrocolpos, which was antenatally diagnosed and was managed conservatively.
