title: Strangulated urethral prolapse.
abstract: Urethral prolapse is rarely diagnosed. We describe the clinical findings in an 86-year-old woman. The treatment chosen was the excision of the urethral prolapse over an indwelling Foley catheter and suturing the mucosa edges to the vaginal skin. Etiology, differential diagnosis, and treatment modalities will be discussed.
