Abstract

Urethral prolapse in children is mostly seen in prepubertal African-American girls who are usually asymptomatic on presentation and often diagnosed incidentally. We present a symptomatic urethral prolapse in a 6-year-old girl with painless vaginal bleeding. The most important point in order to avoid delayed treatment in urethral prolapse is to be aware of this rare malformation and be suspect from patients with mass and vaginal bleeding.
