An intravaginal foreign body of long duration can pose diagnostic dilemma in children. We present a case of eight and a half years old girl who was suffering from blood stained vaginal discharge for 3 years for which she was treated by few gynaecologists. A vaginal examination performed under general anaesthesia revealed a foreign body (lead pencil). In cases of pediatric vaginitis one should always look for foreign body in vagina.

In this study the effect of intraumbilical oxytocin on duration and amount of blood loss in third stage of labour was studied. Pregnant women were randomized into 2 groups of 50 each. Group I <study group> was managed actively with 10 units of oxytocin diluted in 20 ml saline given through umbilical vein immediately after cord claming and Group II <control group> managed traditionally with oxytocin infusion 10 units in 250 ml of dexrose saline at rate of 125 ml/hr given after delivery of baby. In the study group there was a statistically significant decrease in duration of third stage of labour <1.48 min vs 3.27 min>, fall in haemoglobin <1.2 g/dl vs 1.96 g/dl> and fall in haematocrit <3.88% Vs 7.20%<. It was concluded that intraumbilical oxytocin appears to be a useful, safe and practical method for active management of third stage.
