Abstract

A case is discussed of an adolescent presenting with a rectovaginal fistula secondary to a sexual assault 2 years earlier. The fistula resulted from a retained foreign body (bottle cap) inserted into the vagina during the assault. The adolescent did not disclose the presence of the foreign body at the initial examination.
