A successful pediatric case of vaginal foreign body detection on transabdominal ultrasonography

Clin Case Rep. 2021 Dec 5;9(12):e05154. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.5154. eCollection 2021 Dec.

Abstract

Vaginal foreign bodies usually present with bleeding and foul-smelling discharge. It is often difficult to detect and identify vaginal foreign bodies in pediatric cases without any symptoms. Therefore, detection of vaginal foreign bodies using noninvasive methods, like transabdominal ultrasonography, is important in pediatric patients.

Keywords: pediatric; point‐of‐care ultrasonography; vaginal foreign body.
