Indian Journal of Pediatrics. 1999 May-Jun; 66(3): 466-7http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/83536An intravaginal foreign body of long duration can pose diagnostic dilemma in children. We present a case of eight and a half years old girl who was suffering from blood stained vaginal discharge for 3 years for which she was treated by few gynaecologists. A vaginal examination performed under general anaesthesia revealed a foreign body (lead pencil). In cases of pediatric vaginitis one should always look for foreign body in vagina.engChildFemaleForeign Bodies --complicationsHumansHymen --injuriesVaginaVaginal Discharge --etiologyVaginitis --etiologyCase Reports
