Question
How common is utero-vaginal prolapse in newborns, and what are the causes? How commonly can it occur in babies with lumbar meningomyelocele with neurological deficit? What is the treatment of UV prolapse in newborns?
Answer
Numerous neurological and spinal abnormalities may also be associated with uterine prolapse in the neonate: Spina bifida, present in 86% of the neonatal uterine prolapses in Findley's review; meningomyelocele and other conditions such as hydrocephalus, spastic or paretic lower extremities, scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis as well as pelvic skeletal deformities and abnormalities of the uterus, cervix, or vagina. However, cases of uterine prolapse without developmental defects have also been reported in neonates. Neonatal uterine prolapse is treated conservatively with excellent prognosis.
