Zusammenfassung:Urocolpos refers to urinary distension of the vagina; it commonly results from vesicovaginal fistula or reflux. In this case report, we present the clinical and radiological aspects of an 18-year-old female presenting with no significant urinary complaints, but with imaging findings of hydrocolpos.

We emphasize the importance of recognizing the entity before proposing surgical treatment.
