Zusammenfassung
Wir möchten ein diagnostisches Zeichen bei der Abklärung von pelvinen Zysten bei Neugeborenen hervorheben. Im positiven Fall ist es der Beweis für das Vorliegen eines Hydrocolpos bzw. bei dilatiertem Cavum uteri für einen Hydrometrocolpos.
Abstract
We want to stress a diagnostic sign in the diagnosis of pelvic cysts in newborns. In these cases the detection of an attached uterus is proof of a hydrocolpos or in cases with a dilated uterine cavity of a hydrometrocolpos.
Key words
