Vaginal wall prolapse in a premature infant / 中华围产医学杂志

ABSTRACT

A case of vaginal wall prolapse in a premature infant is reported. A 33 +1-week gestational age girl was admitted on 72 days due to intermittent crying, abdominal distension, and visible perineal mass. She was diagnosed with vaginal wall prolapse. No neurodevelopmental defects were found. She recovered for three months with nutritional improvement and conservative treatment in the digital reduction of the prolapsed organ. This case suggests that genital prolapse should be paid attention to when abdominal pressure increases in premature infants, especially those with malnutrition. If confirmed, the exclusion of neurodevelopmental defects is also necessary.
