title: Severe traumatic vulva hematoma in teenage girl.
abstract: Nonobstetric hematomas of the vulva are rare and not extensively reported in literature. There are no consensus guidelines and a paucity of literature to guide best practices with regard to management. We present a case of vulva hematoma in a teenage girl. Our experience highlights the importance of prompt surgical intervention to reduce associated morbidity and minimize hospital stay.
