However, an intravaginal foreign body (FB) must be suspected when it is persistent. We report the case of a referred 4-year-old girl with a 5-month history of persistent foul-smelling vaginal discharge. Clinical examination confirmed purulent vaginal discharge, along with a vaginal granuloma. A hard, intravaginal object was felt through the anterior rectal wall on digital rectal examination. A plain pelvic X-ray revealed a radiopaque object whose intravaginal position was confirmed by ultrasonography. The patient underwent granuloma excision plus FB removal and antibiotic treatment. The 12-month follow-up was unremarkable.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ajps.ajps_138_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,13]],"date-time":"2024-08-13T09:00:48Z","timestamp":1723539648000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Intravaginal Foreign Body"],"prefix":"10.67481","author":[{"given":"Ndeye Fatou","family":"Seck","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florent Tshibwid A.","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ndeye Aby","family":"Ndoye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriel","family":"Ngom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":null,"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"227","DOI":"10.1016\/S1083-3188(02)00160-2","article-title":"Premenarchal vaginal discharge: Findings of procedures to rule out foreign bodies","volume":"15","author":"Smith","year":"2002","journal-title":"J Pediatr Adolesc Gynecol"},{"key":"R2-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"897","DOI":"10.1097\/pec.0b013e31815c9dd2","article-title":"The missing \u201cBratz\u201d doll: A case of vaginal foreign body","volume":"23","author":"Someshwar","year":"2007","journal-title":"Pediatr Emerg Care"},{"key":"R3-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"205","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-1754.2004.00338.x","article-title":"Vaginal foreign bodies","volume":"40","author":"Stricker","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Paediatr Child Health"},{"key":"R4-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e15","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpag.2016.08.015","article-title":"Longstanding presence of a vaginal foreign body (Battery): Severe stenosis in a 13-year-old girl","volume":"30","author":"Nakib","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Pediatr Adolesc Gynecol"},{"key":"R5-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e73","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpag.2013.01.001","article-title":"Rectorrhagia and vaginal discharge caused by a vaginal foreign body \u2013A case report and review of literature","volume":"26","author":"Shiryazdi","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Pediatr Adolesc Gynecol"},{"key":"R6-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"466","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02845543","article-title":"Foreign body in vagina \u2013An uncommon cause of vaginitis in children","volume":"66","author":"Dahiya","year":"1999","journal-title":"Indian J Pediatr"},{"key":"R7-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"361","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpag.2003.09.006","article-title":"Recurrent, purulent vaginal discharge associated with longstanding presence of a foreign body and vaginal stenosis","volume":"16","author":"Simon","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Pediatr Adolesc Gynecol"},{"key":"R8-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"323","DOI":"10.1007\/s00404-002-0321-8","article-title":"Long retained intravaginal foreign body: A case report","volume":"268","author":"Dahiya","year":"2003","journal-title":"Arch Gynecol Obstet"},{"key":"R9-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"102","DOI":"10.4103\/2141-9248.109463","article-title":"Foreign body in vagina: An uncommon cause of vaginitis in children","volume":"3","author":"Chinawa","year":"2013","journal-title":"Ann Med Health Sci Res"}],"container-title":["African Journal of Paediatric Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/10.4103\/ajps.ajps_138_22","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,2]],"date-time":"2026-07-02T00:49:40Z","timestamp":1782953380000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/10.4103\/ajps.ajps_138_22"}},"subtitle":["A Rare Cause of Persistent Vaginal Discharge in a Child"],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,10]]},"references-count":9,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/ajps.ajps_138_22","relation":{},"ISSN":["0189-6725"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0189-6725","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,10]]}}}
