Abstract. A 13-year-old presented with malodorous, purulent,
vaginal discharge following each menses for the last
three months since menarche. This discharge resolved following
antibiotic therapy but recurred with each menses.
On exam, the patient was found to have a blind ending
vagina with a small, midline perforation. Ultrasound and
MRI examinations done prior to surgery did not identify the
vaginal foreign body. She was taken to the operating room
for examination under anesthesia and vaginoscopy. During
surgery this area was found to be comprised of dense adhesions
which nearly obliterated the distal vagina. The vaginal
adhesions were lysed and a plastic foreign body was discovered
in the upper vagina. After removing the foreign body
the superior vagina was undermined, pulled down, and
sutured to normal inferior vagina. A Mentor mold was
placed in the vagina to maintain patency.
