Vaginal discharge in children can be due to many causes. Foreign body in vagina is an unusual cause. Foul-smelling, blood-stained vaginal discharge should raise the suspicion of foreign body in vagina. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), vaginal examination under general anesthesia may detect foreign bodies in vagina. We found a cotton fiber ball in vagina, probably caused by the child's teddy bear as a cause of vaginal discharge in a 5-year-old child. A repeat MRI suggested foreign body in the vagina and vaginal exploration under general anesthesia helped for the removal of cotton fiber ball, which led to complete clearance of the vaginal discharge in the child.
儿童阴道分泌物可能由多种原因引起。阴道异物是一种不常见的原因。有恶臭、带血的阴道分泌物应引起对阴道异物的怀疑。磁共振成像(MRI)、全身麻醉下的阴道检查可能会发现阴道内的异物。我们在一名5岁儿童的阴道内发现了一个棉球,可能是由孩子的泰迪熊导致的,这是该儿童阴道分泌物的原因。重复MRI提示阴道内有异物,全身麻醉下的阴道探查有助于取出棉球,这使得该儿童的阴道分泌物完全清除。
