Vaginal Reconstruction for Vaginal Obliteration Secondary to Stevens Johnson Syndrome: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Journal Title: Oman Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 32, Issue 5
Abstract
Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a rare and acute life-threatening condition which is almost always precipitated by drugs. Genital mucositis in female patients may also be an important cause of long-term morbidity secondary to mucosal scarring. We present the case of a 33-year-old nulligravid woman with distal vaginal synechiae necessitating a surgical approach, which occurred after an episode of SJS. Also, we aimed to review the literature to reveal cases which required surgical management for long-term genital sequelae as well as discuss preventive measures.
