Abdominal sonography for diagnosis of vaginal grains in Chinese children

J Ultrasound Med. 2013 Feb;32(2):361-3. doi: 10.7863/jum.2013.32.2.361.

Abstract

Grains embedded as vaginal foreign bodies sometime occur in Chinese children. We summarized the sonographic characteristics of vaginal grains in 4 Chinese children and retrospectively analyzed the clinical data. Abdominal sonography can be the first choice for diagnosis of vaginal grains because of its noninvasive nature, high specificity, and low cost.
