“…In cases of vaginal wall prolapse, the prolapsed mass is usually circumferential. Furthermore, the external opening of the cervix can often be seen at the upper end of the prolapse mass with unaffected urethral opening (6,7). The perineum of second-born twin.…”

“…However, there is a tendency for recurrence constantly after manual reduction in some cases, especially in infants with moderate prolapse. In such instances, utilizing Foley silicone catheters or hypertonic saline packs to provide rudimentary uterine support may help in preventing prolapse (7,14,15). Nonetheless, if the capacity of conservative therapy to sustain the original genital position is limited and it potentially impeded lower limb perfusion circulation (16), we should take other alternative interventions such as uterine suspension surgery, partial labial fusion surgery, and purse string suture to rectify the prolapse (16)(17)(18).…”

Neonatal genital prolapse is a rare situation. This report presents a unique case involving a pair of premature female twins who both developed vaginal wall prolapse without any neurological deficits. Multiple factors such as selective intrauterine growth restriction, feeding intolerance, extrauterine growth retardation, and elevated intra-abdominal pressure after birth may have contributed to the development of this phenomenon. Notably, the severity of prolapse was more pronounced in the twin with lower birth weight and smaller for gestational age. After a five-month follow-up period, the twins’ prolapsed vaginal wall fully retracted due to a combination of conservative treatment and enhanced nutritional support.
