    Author: Sersiron D.
    Journal: Sem Hop; 1978 Jun; 54(17-20):669-73. PubMed ID: 211620.
    Abstract:
    After a description of the methods of examination of the vulva, the authors discuss the most important findings. Among the organic diseases, are congenital abnormalities, vulvar coalescence, imperforate hymen, polyps, cysts and above all, trauma. Among the infections, one may note vulvitis or vulvovaginitis but also inclusions, of the clitoridian smaegma, and meatitis. Among the functional disorders, examination of the vulva is necessary for precocius puberty, amenorrhoea, and late puberty. Finally, it permits one to solve a certain number of false problems ; it is however often neglected and should form part of all complete pediatric examinations.
