Congenital disorders of female genital tract occurs with an incidence of 1: 10 000 - 20 000 born alive, have a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, their detection is described bimodally, with complications that may even threaten life, however, with timely treatment patients can have a good prognosis. We report the case of a 13-year-old patient with a sudden urinary retention, acute constipation, no menarche, and age appropriate sexual characteristics, in whom an imperforate hymen, hematocolpos was identified. Other possible differential diagnoses were ruled out and the management was hymenotomy plus hymenoplasty. The imperforate hymen is part of the most frequent developmental disorders of the female genitals, it can have multiple clinical manifestations, mild and severe, however, with an adequate identification, it can be given an opportune treatment, good prognosis and avoiding consequences.
