Abstract
We reported a case who had abnormal calcification in the pelvic floor since 2004 which were confirmed vaginal stones upon close examination carried out to investigate a shape of an artifact being displayed in 2010 x-ray examination. The patient was a 42 year old female. Tonic quadriplegia was exhibited as a result of her severe motor and intellectual disabilities since the age of two and she had been bedridden. Regular tetragon-shaped abnormal calcification was observed in x-ray of the abdominal and pelvic region and diagnosed as a foreign body in the vagina with ultrasound and CT scans. The removal of the vaginal foreign body was performed in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department. The foreign body was diagnosed as an ammonium magnesium phosphate stone upon analysis. No fistula such as vesicovaginal fistula seen in the healthy patients with vaginal stones was observed and the long-term discharge of urine into the vagina resulting from the patient's bedridden state was thought to be the mechanism.
