Abstract

GARCIA-MANZANO, Roberto Armando; ARGUELLO-CANCINO, Jorge David; DAVILA-RUIZ, Ediel Osvaldo  and  MARTINEZ-SANTIAGO, Nallely Ytandehui. Idiopathic spontaneous transvaginal intestinal evisceration. Case report. Ginecol. obstet. Méx. [online]. 2020, vol.88, n.3, pp.176-180.  Epub Aug 30, 2021. ISSN 0300-9041.  https://doi.org/10.24245/gom.v88i3.3618.

BACKGROUND:

Vaginal evisceration is a rare entity, with less than 100 reports in the -literature, which is associated with multiple factors, the most important being the history of a gynecological surgical approach by vaginal approach. The clinical presentation is variable, and the treatment is based on emergency surgery to reduce the associated morbidity and mortality.

CLINICAL CASE:

The case of a 63-year-old female with no surgical history or vaginal procedures with a diagnosis of vaginal evisceration after performing a Valsalva maneuver when evacuating with a foreign body sensation in the vaginal canal, presenting a vaginal dome rupture, with evisceration and necrosis of the case is presented. 100 cm of terminal ileum who undergoes surgical time with resection, anastomosis as well as primary closure of vaginal defect, presents pathology report, cervical biopsy, as well as negative colposcopy of malignancy.

CONCLUSION:

So far, there are fewer than 100 reports of this complication, which requires suspicion and timely treatment to reduce the associated morbidity and mortality. What is relevant in this case is the absence of a surgical history that could be the cause.
