title: A Fatal Case of Massive Incarcerated Genital Prolapse.
abstract: Genital prolapse is usually seen as a benign condition warranting treatment only when bothersome. We report the case of a 77-year-old woman who presented with massive incarcerated pelvic organ prolapse, which led to bladder necrosis, cystectomy with bilateral cutaneous ureterostomy, and death from medical complications 5 weeks after the initial presentation. This first case report of death from bladder necrosis after incarcerated genital prolapse could warrant treatment of massive prolapse even when apparently well tolerated.
