Abolarinwa, A.A.; Bioku, M.J.; Akinwumi, I.N.; Ikuerowo, S.O. & Esho, J.O.
Abstract
Background:
Urethral Prolapse is rare but a differential diagnosis of interlabial masses in
prepubertal females. It usually presents with vaginal bleeding and may heighten the
suspicion of sexual abuse.
Methods:
Our series of 3 cases all presented with vaginal bleeding and all had primary
surgical excision of the prolapsed urethral mucosa.
Results and Conclusion:
Surgical management is definitive and should be considered as the
first line treatment in our environment.Parents, caregivers and medical personnel in our
environment should be able to identify and recognise it.
