| Title | Primary vaginal calculus secondary to urethrovaginal fistula with imperforate hymen in a 6-year-old girl. | | Author(s) | Oguzkurt P, Ince E, Ezer SS, Temiz A, Demir S, Hicsonmez A | | Institution | Department of Pediatric Surgery, Başkent University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey. poguzkurt@yahoo.com | | Source | J Pediatr Surg 2009 Jul; 44(7):e11-3. | | Abstract | Primary vaginal stones are extremely rare in children and may be mistaken for bladder calculi on plain radiography. We present a case of a large vaginal calculus in a 6-year-old girl who had an imperforate hymen and urethrovaginal fistula. Hymenotomy and urethrovaginal fistula repair were performed, and the vaginal stone was extracted. It was postulated that the vaginal calculus originated from stasis of urine through the urethrovaginal fistula in the obstructed vagina. This is a unique case of a vaginal calculus with a congenital urethrovaginal fistula associated with an imperforate hymen. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
