Urethral injuries in girls with pelvic trauma.
Three girls with major urethral injuries following motor vehicle accidents are presented. Early diagnosis of this rare condition, which is often associated with vaginal injuries, is imperative and a cystourethrogram, examination under anesthesia and a cystovaginoscopy are usually indicated. Primary repair of these injuries is recommended and long-term follow-up is essential.
