Abstract

We report a case of a 59-year-old woman who suffered for 3 years with vaginal discharge and severe lower abdominal pain. The patient underwent numerous clinical examinations and a wide array of complex medical procedures without receiving a conclusive diagnosis. Although a diverse amount of tests and exams had been carried out, no abnormalities were detected until introital ultrasound (GE Voluson 730 Expert, vaginal probe 5-9-MHz, beam angle of 160°) identified two tiny abscesses with sinus tract at the vaginal sulci. The infected tape (TOT) was surgically removed and the patient healed uneventfully.
