title: Sexual assault of a postmenopausal woman.
abstract: Postmenopausal women account for small numbers of presentations to sexual assault services. Knowledge of genital anatomical and physiological changes in this population is essential in order to correctly interpret injuries. A case of a postmenopausal victim is described and discussed which illustrates some issues peculiar to older female victims.
