Insights
A 7-year-old girl experienced genital prolapse after a fall. Conservative treatment involving manual reduction and a Foley catheter for one week yielded good results for this rare pediatric condition.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Gynecology
- Trauma Surgery
Background:
- Genital prolapse is uncommon in children.
- Traumatic injuries can precipitate prolapse in pediatric patients.
Observation:
- A 7-year-old female presented with genital prolapse following an astride fall.
- The prolapse involved the cervix.
Findings:
- Manual reduction of the cervix was performed.
- A size 8 Foley catheter was inserted intravaginally for one week.
- This conservative approach resulted in a favorable outcome.
Implications:
- Post-traumatic uterine prolapse in infants is rare, potentially linked to underlying connective tissue weakness.
- Conservative management is recommended for pediatric patients whenever feasible.
Abstract:
We report on one case of genital prolaps that happened after an astride fell in a girl aged 7-year-old. The manual reducing of the cervix followed by putting a blown Foley catheter n(o) 8 intravaginally for 1 week has allowed good results. Post-trauma uterine prolaps in infant is a rare condition supposed to be due to connective tissue weakness. Conservative treatment should be as possible applied at this age.
