Abstract

Lichen sclerosus is a chronic, skin disease. The involvement of the vagina is not a characteristic of lichen sclerosus. We report a rare case of vulvovaginal syndrome as a complication of lichen sclerosus with the diagnosis and the management of vaginal synechia leading to intravaginal fluid accumulation mimicking pelvic mass. There were two interesting aspects of this case. First, the location of the synechia was behind the introitus, in the vagina. The second was the presence of a pelvic cyst in the lower pelvis. The surgical correction of the case was accomplished with vulvoperninoplasty but the difficulty of the procedure was the identification of the vaginal mucosa after dissection of the synechia. On the next step, the mucosa was attached to the vulvar skin with sepate sutures. The postsurgical corticosteroid treatment and the regular dilatation of the introitus are essential to prevent the restenosis.

Özet

Liken sklerozus kronik bir deri hastalığıdır. Vagina tutulumu liken sklerozusta ender olarak görülür. Lichen sclerosus ’e bağlı oluşan, vagina ve gerisinde pelvic kitleyi taklit eden bir vaginal sineşi olgusu sunularak tanı ve tedavisi tartışılmıştır. Bu olgu sunumunun iki önemli noktası bulunmaktadır. Birincisi, liken sklerosus’a bağlı yapışıklık vulvada değil vagina içerisinde yerleşimlidir. İkincisi, pelviste derin yerleşimli bir kistin varlığıdır. Cerrahi işlem, vaginoperinoplasti ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. İşlemin teknik zorluğu, sineşi disseksiyonu sırasında vagina mukozasının ayırdedilebilmesidir. Ayırdedildikten sonra vaginal mukoza, vulva derisine separe sütürlerle birleştirilerek ağızlaştırılmıştır. Yeniden stenoz oluşumunun önlenmesi cerrahi sonrası kortikosteroid kullanımı ve düzenli dilatasyonla sağlanabilmektedir
