Prenatal diagnosis of hydrometrocolpos in a Down syndrome fetus caused by an imperforate hymen, with spontaneous evacuation on the third day of life, is reported. In this case, sonographic evaluation in the 37th week revealed a large retrovesical sharply marginated, heterogeneous, unilocular cystic structure within the fetal abdomen extending to the left side of the umbilicus.
