Umesh Jethwani, Ishrat Jahan, Divya Jethwani

Abstract


Retention of foreign body for long duration may lead to serious morbidity in form of infection, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and chronic pelvic pain. We report a case of a 14 yr old unmarried girl who presented with chronic pelvic pain and rectal discharge for 4 months. USG was suggestive of echogenic lesion in vagina. CT scan revealed intravaginal foreign body. A torch cap was retrieved from vagina.
