Abstract:
Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a rare and acute life-threatening condition, which is almost always precipitated by drugs. Genital mucositis in female patients may also be an important cause of long-term morbidity secondary to mucosal scarring. We present the case of a 33-year-old nulligravid woman with distal vaginal synechiae necessitating a surgical approach, which occurred after an episode of SJS. Also, we aimed to review the literature to reveal cases which required surgical management for long-term genital sequelae as well as discuss preventive measures.
