Abstract
Imperforate hymen is a cause of pelvic pain in adolescent females who have not reached menarche. There is scant literature on adolescent gynecology for the emergency provider. The literature about the adolescent with imperforate hymen is usually in a case report format. A patient with imperforate hymen is presented in this article. The purpose of this case study was to review the urgent presentation of imperforate hymen. Advanced emergency providers need to consider the possibility of imperforate hymen in the list of differential diagnoses for pelvic pain in adolescent females. Prompt diagnosis of imperforate hymen allows the emergency provider to initiate gynecological referral for definitive treatment.
