ABSTRACT
@#There has been a dramatic increase in very young adolescent pregnancies in recent years, with pregnancies documented in children as young as 10 years old, likely from sexual abuse. This article presents a 10-year-old female who initially consulted at the emergency room in her 27th week of pregnancy as a result of recurrent sexual abuse. Prompt assessment, diagnosis, and appropriate referrals to Obstetrics, Pediatric Adolescent Clinic, Psychiatry, and Child Protection Unit rendered optimal management for the patient. Dilemmas encountered in managing the case included preterm labor, large-for-gestational-age baby, immature pelvis, and approach to the appropriate mode of delivery compounded with management of trauma from sexual abuse. A multidisciplinary approach in managing these dilemmas achieved optimal outcomes with the patient delivering a live baby boy, appropriate for gestational age via cesarean section at term.
