Complete utero vaginal prolapse in a woman with prolapsed submucous fibroid
1Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Ituku, Ozalla, Enugu, Nigeria.
Background:
Uterine fibroids are benign tumors of the uterus and those located beneath the uterine mucosa may present as prolapsed fibroid in the vagina. Prolapsed submucous fibroid associated with complete uterovaginal prolapse is however uncommon.
Case:
A case of irreducible complete utero-vaginal and infected sub-mucous fibroid prolapse, in a 45-year-old grandmultiparous woman, is reported. Bed rest and antibiotics failed to relief edema and infection of the vault. Vaginal myomectomy, followed by interval vaginal hysterectomy, and pelvic floor repair a week later resulted in a satisfactory outcome.
