118. Sacrococcygeal teratoma presenting as suspected hydrocolpos with acute urinary retention

Hydrocolpos is cystic distention of the vagina caused by accumulation of fluid due to a congenital obstruction such as imperforate hymen, transverse vaginal septum, or distal vaginal atresia. Urinary obstruction associated with this anomaly typically presents at birth. This case describes acute urinary retention with presumed hydrocolpos, though the cystic mass was ultimately found to be a sacrococcygeal teratoma.
