    Author: Kyrgios I, Emmanouilidou E, Theodoridis T, Galli-Tsinopoulou A.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2014 Feb 14; 2014():. PubMed ID: 24532235.
    Abstract:
    Vaginal bleeding and/or discharge in young girls may result from infection, urological problems, endocrine causes, bleeding disorders, dermatological conditions, trauma, sexual abuse, masses or foreign bodies. We report a case of excessive vaginal bleeding caused by a foreign body in a prepubertal girl with emphasis on the diagnostic challenges and pitfalls regarding imaging techniques. In our patient, although invasive and expensive investigations had been initially made, the foreign body was last detected only when a plain pelvic radiography was performed.
