The tradition of female genital mutilation (FGM) is practiced in many African countries, including Somalia. FGM is responsible for several short and long-term complications that can negatively influence vital and functional prognosis. We present a case of a 12-year-old girl subjected to FGM who developed urethral meatus stenosis, exacerbated by chronic renal failure and urine infection, leading to her death from a combination of complications. FGM complications, sometimes fatal, remain in developing nations. The fight against these practices must be stepped up, supported by public awareness, education, and communication efforts.
包括索马里在内的许多非洲国家都存在女性生殖器切割（FGM）的传统习俗。女性生殖器切割会引发多种短期和长期并发症，对生命及功能预后产生负面影响。我们报告一例12岁接受过女性生殖器切割的女孩，她出现了尿道口狭窄，因慢性肾衰竭和尿路感染而加重，最终因多种并发症死亡。女性生殖器切割引发的并发症在发展中国家依然存在，有时甚至会致命。必须加大力度打击这些行为，通过提高公众意识、开展教育及宣传工作来提供支持。
