Uterovaginal prolapse is an
exceptional pathology in the newborn. It is defined by the descent and protrusion
of the uterus and vaginal walls to the outside via the vaginal orifice. It
particularly affects newborns with neural tube defects. The diagnosis is
usually made at birth. Different types of conservative or surgical treatment
have been suggested for genital prolapse in neonates. We report the case of a
newborn of 6 hours of life who was received for congenital utero-vaginal
without neural tube closure anomaly. He was successfully treated with digital
reduction of the mass associated with a cerclage of the vaginal orifice. Conclusion: Digital reduction of the prolapse associated with a cerclage of the vaginal
orifice is simple, effective and avoids any recurrence.
