title: Surgical management of uterine prolapse in an infant.
abstract: Neonatal uterine prolapse has been rarely described in the literature. Most cases have an underlying cause, usually spinal cord malformations. Conservative treatment has been advocated for this condition in the neonates. We would like to present the late presentation of a child with complete uterine prolapse which was treated with classical uterine ventrisuspension.
