    Author: Lara-Torre E, Hertweck SP, Kives SL, Perlman S.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 2004 Dec; 49(12):983-5. PubMed ID: 15656216.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Periclitoral abscesses in premenarchal girls is a serious condition and can have negative implications for future reproductive health. Recurrent periclitoral abscess in premenarchal girls is rare. CASE: An 11-year-old, premenarchal girl presented complaining of dysuria, vulvar swelling, pain and erythema of the clitoral hood and a similar episode 12 months previously. Intravenous antibiotics and local measures resulted in spontaneous drainage of the abscess. On day 3 the area was healing, and the patient was discharged on oral antibiotics and sitz baths. At her 6-month follow-up, she had a normal clitoral hood without tenderness or erythema. CONCLUSION: Broad-spectrum antibiotics and local measures may prevent surgical treatment and potential associated reproductive morbidity.
