Abstract
A 3.5-year-old girl had a persistent, foul-smelling, blood-tinged vagi nal discharge. She was initially treated for recurrent and persistent vulvovaginitis, which resulted in no improvement. Vaginoscopy revealed an intravaginal foreign body, which was removed successfully by hyste roscopy. We believe hysteroscopy is sale, convenient, effective, and e asy to perform, even in a child.
