Abstract
Anatomic variations of the patent hymen exist, the most common configuration having a central orifice. Difficulty in inserting a tampon or the inability to achieve vaginal intercourse in an adolescent is the typical presenting symptom of incomplete hymenal obstruction. Here, a case is reported wherein the patient presented with normal pregnancy at term with an apparently intact hymen. Later in labour, a microperforate hymen (MH) was noted. An emergency lower segment caesarean section along with hymenectomy was performed.
