Spontaneously resolved uterine prolapse in a neonate with spina bifida

Neonatal uterine prolapse is rare and mostly due to spina bifida. It is probablydue to abnormal innervation of levator ani and subsequent atrophy of themuscle in patients with spina bifida.Here we report a newborn patient with uterine prolapse after meningomyeloceleoperation. Foley catheter was used to manage uterine prolapse, howeverrectal prolapse occurred and catheter was pulled out. She was followed in anoutpatient clinic without any management. She is now seven months old andhad no uterine prolapse since the age of two months.
