TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Psychological factors of genital automutilation and medico-ethical interest in emergency vulvoplasty JO - Gynécologie, obstétrique et fertilité A1 - Fayad, S. A1 - Srom, V. A1 - Delotte, Jérome A1 - Bafghi, A. A1 - Sorci, K. A1 - Bongain, A. SP - 134 EP - 136 VL - 34 IS - 2 N2 - The genital self-mutilation is not rare in women. Risk factors found in these cases are: mood disorders, food behavior anomalies and antecedents of sexual aggression. However, surgical repair is not done in emergency: we find no similar report to our clinical case describing an added up bilateral reduction nymphoplasty carried out in emergency after hemorrhagic genital self-mutilation. We discuss psychological risk factors, psychiatric diagnosis and optimal treatment, studied from medico-ethical point of view, for this surgical emergency.
