Congenital Uterovaginal Prolapse Present at Birth

Abstract

Uterovaginal prolapse presenting at birth is very rare. The cause is attributed to conditions that can cause poor innervation or weakness of the pelvic floor muscle and the supporting ligaments. Different methods of treatment have
been used in the past to reduce and maintain reduction of the prolapse. We report a case of a congenital UVP in a day old child noticed at delivery. He was delivered breech and had a sacral dimple with a tuft of hair. He was  successfully managed conservatively with digital reduction and strapping
of the buttocks down to the legs with crepe bandage for 72 h.
