Abstract
We report a case of lifelong urine incontinence in a 9-year-old girl who underwent numerous diagnostic modalities and treatment without success. A thorough genital examination revealed a mild female hypospadias with imperforate hymen and unlocked the mystery behind her refractory state for treatment. This association led to urine accumulation within the vagina with subsequent continuous dribbling. Her condition was treated by hymenectomy.
