title: [Gynecologic examinations in paraplegics].
abstract: Following the introduction of a gynecological consultant in the Rehabilitation centre of Tobelbad, 102 paraplegic patients have been seen during a period of 30 months in a routine gynecological check-up. More than two thirds of patients with pathological findings did not have any complaint. Therefore they would not have consulted a gynecologist by their own. Among those one carcinoma in situ of the cervix uteri as well as one breast-cancer have been detected as the most severe cases. The difficulties of paraplegics to have gynecological routine check-ups or to continue those after the onset of the disablement is discussed.
