title: Case history: adhesive vulvitis in childhood.
abstract: In a case of adhesive vulvitis or agglutination of the labia in a young female, treatment with local applications of estrogen cream to the area resulted in complete separation of the labia within a period of one month.Although the condition is not that common, it is easily detected, and simple office treatment of this kind is eminently effective. The parents' fear that a major plastic operative procedure on the vulva might be required can be allayed, and including the mother in the therapeutic regime helps considerably in managing the problem.
