Abstract
Childhood gynaecological disorders as seen in the University of Calabar Teaching hospital (UCTH), Calabar, Nigeria, over a 10-year period were studied. The aim was to establish the incidence and pattern of presentation of these disorders. Childhood gynaecological disorders constituted 3.1% of gynaecological admissions in UCTH. Vaginal laceration following rape was the most common disorder accounting for 54.8% of the cases. This was most common in the 8 to 11-year age group (52.2%). Vaginal bleeding was the most common presenting symptom (63.1%) and repair of vaginal laceration the most common procedure performed (54.8%).
