Abstract
A 14-year-old girl with Robinow syndrome was admitted with severe abdo minal pain that had recurred periodically during the last 6 months. Sh e had been followed by us since age 2 months and she had not experienc ed menarche yet; hematocolpos related to vaginal atresia was diagnosed . She underwent vaginoplasty with cervical construction. Genital syste m abnormalities are common in Robinow syndrome, but this kind of malfo rmation has not been reported previously.
