Pregnancy and vaginal childbirth followed by reconstructive vulval surgery in a woman with giant and isolated vulval elephantiasis.
الملخص الإنجليزي
Isolated elephantiasis of the vulva refers to a gigantic swelling of the vulva without
concomitant swelling of the lower limbs. It is a rarely reported entity and its occurrence
during pregnancy has been reported only once. We report a case of an isolated vulval
elephantiasis during pregnancy and we discuss the possible etiologies and management
issues. Our patient had a successful vaginal delivery followed by a satisfactory genital
reconstruction at eight months postpartum and no recurrence thereafter.
