I'd look to rule out a rectovaginal or rectouterine fistua

Listers,

3 y.o. with a one year history of malodorous vaginal discharge. Evaluated externally by several physicians without any abnormal findings. Solid family without indications of sexual abuse. No evidence of any hormonal effects (precocious, etc)

Exam under anesthesia reveals normal external genitalia. Small opening in the hymen and does not appear consistent with penetration. Nasal speculum exam allows complete visual of the vagina without evidence of foreign body. Transperineal ultrasound done at the same time reveals a normal (small) uterus. Cultures done prior to the exam and they are pending.

Any thoughts if the culture doesn't reveal anything...

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
