“…Although the exact etiology of uterine prolapse in newborns is not well known, few risk factors have been attributed to the development of the disease in newborns, most of which are related to spina bifida (82-86%) (Mukenge et al, 2021). In the present case, uterine prolapse was associated with myelomeningocele in the lumbosacral region.…”

Objective: To present a case of neonatal uterine prolapse at a reference maternity hospital. Methodology: This is a case report of neonatal uterine prolapse that occurred at a tertiary maternity hospital in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. The data presented were collected from medical records that contained the history and reports of the examinations performed. Results and Discussion: The newborn was delivered vaginally in cephalic presentation. The apgar scores were 8 and 10 (at 1 and 5 min of life, respectively). On physical examination, the patient weighed 2,971 g, had mild edema, atypical facies, a visible increase in head circumference, flexed limbs, and reduced subcutaneous tissue. On the 4th postoperative day of myelomeningocele repair, a pinkish, edematous, interlabial mass was observed in the genital region, compatible with uterine cervix prolapse. At 15 days of age, a Foley probe No. 6 was inserted, inflated with 5 mL distilled water, and occluded with a dermal dressing concomitant with local estrogen application (1 mL) once a day. Conclusion: Uterine prolapse is a rare condition in newborns and is usually associated with spina bifida. The treatment is conservative in most cases, and the prognosis is generally favorable.

Spina bifida, or spinal dysraphism, is a malformative pathology related to an anomaly in the development of the nervous system, occurring during embryogenesis. The neural tube does not close properly around the 28th day of life and affects the development of the spinal column and spinal cord. Spina bifida is characterised by damage to the nervous system and will generate handicaps and damage of varying degrees: neurological motor, sensory, cognitive, genito-phincter (bladder and anorectal) deficits with consequences for the quality of life of these people. The literature describes the association between spinal dysraphism and genital prolapse. However, genital prolapse is an exceptional and rare entity in newborns. We report the observations of two newborns: the first case of a newborn born at term, at 7 days of age, who presented a prolapse of the uterine cervix in association with myelomeningocele, without any neuromuscular repercussions, and the second case of a newborn at 10 days of age, presenting with a lumbosacral spina bifida and a uterine prolapse. They benefited from conservative medical treatment characterised by manual reduction of the prolapse in both cases with a favourable evolution. In the case of spina bifida, a cure of myelomeningocele was performed surgically with simple postoperative course.
