Abstract
Foreign body in vagina is rare in mentally sound females and seen occasionally in insane females or as a result of sexual assault. We are presenting a case of vaginal body in an adolescent and mentally sound girl who presented to us with sub-acute intestinal obstruction rather than vaginal discharge as the main complaint. Foreign body was diagnosed accidentally on radiographic examination when she was being investigated for sub-acute intestinal obstruction. Primary cause of SAIO was most likely sepsis due to foreign body. Foreign body was removed vaginally. Concurrent diagnostic laparoscopy and proctoscopy ware done in order to to look for any inadvertent damage to small bowel and rectum. Finally multiple pieces of plastic most probably cover of lip stick were removed. Sub-acute intestinal obstruction was managed conservatively. Patient was discharged home in satisfactory condition.
