Vaginal calculus in female with myelodysplasia.
A case report of vaginal calculus formation in a nine-year-old girl with myelodysplasia is presented. Etiologic factors in the formation of such calculi include fistulous communication between the vagina and the bladder, neuropathic urethrovesical dysfunction, anatomic conditions causing vaginal outlet obstruction, and/or vaginal pooling of urine and urease-producing bacterial infection. A correct preoperative diagnosis can be made by using oblique x-ray films and cystoscopy. Surgical treatment is simple and successful.
