    Complete uterine prolapse in newborns, often linked to meningomyelocele, can be successfully treated with conservative methods. Temporary vaginal support, like a rubber nipple, resolves the condition, especially after surgical repair of the defect.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Urogynecology

    Background:

    • Congenital anomalies such as meningomyelocele can present with rare complications.
    • Uterine prolapse (procidentia) in neonates is an uncommon condition requiring prompt management.

    Observation:

    • A female infant presented with complete uterine prolapse shortly after birth.
    • The infant also had a meningomyelocele at the iliac crest with a caudal dimpled defect.
    • Initial management involved placing a rubber nipple into the vagina to support the uterus and vagina.

    Findings:

    • The conservative approach successfully restored the uterus and vagina to their normal positions.
    • Uterine prolapse resolved by the sixth day of life, following surgical repair of the meningomyelocele.

  • This case highlights the efficacy of temporary support in managing neonatal procidentia.

    • Implications:

    • Conservative management with temporary support is a viable and satisfactory solution for neonatal uterine prolapse.
    • Early intervention and addressing the underlying cause (meningomyelocele) are crucial for resolution.
    • This approach may prevent the need for more invasive interventions in affected newborns.
