Özet

A review of gynecological emergency cases shows that traumatic injuries observed in consensual sexual relations, sexual abuse victims or following an abortion, secondary infections, internal organ injuries, and massive bleeding are gynecological forensic cases that may require an emergency approach. In this case; it is aimed to discuss the case of a child who was diagnosed as sexual abuse and reported as a forensic case. In the evaluation of the case of a 15-year- old girl who applied to the emergency service with a history of the foot of a stool entering her vaginal area, it was seen that she had a complaint of active vaginal bleeding but was referred to Child Monitoring Center (CIM) without taking a detailed anamnesis or performing any tests. During the forensic interviews at CIM, on account of the fact that the patient complained of dizziness, an emergency forensic vaginal examination and operation was performed. Active vaginal bleeding, 3 cm transverse laceration, and uterine artery injury were found in the area between the upper cervix and lower uterine segment. Our study aims to contribute to raising awareness about the importance of medical evaluation and healthy anamnesis in the emergency department regarding these issues.
