The girl, 15 years old, was sent to renal ultrasound for abdominal pain, back pain, pollakisuria and proteinuria. Difficulties lasted for four

days. ATB treatment was without effect. Sonographic findings in the kidney were completely physiological. During examination of the

urinary bladder there were displayed 2 spherical hypoechoic structures with communication between them. After finding out that the girl

has amenorrhea, there was suspicion of hematocolpos, which was confirmed during a gynecological examination.

Keywords: abdominal pain, dysuria, ultrasound examination of kidney and small pelvis, amenorrhoea, hematocolpos, imperforated hymen
