Sumario:Urethral prolapse is a circumferential protrusion of the distal urethra through the external urethral meatus. The incidence of Urethral prolapse was reported to be one in 3000, and it occurs most often in prepubertal Black females and postmenopausal White women. The possible causes and precipitating factors are not clear. Instrumentation of the urinary tract was reported to be one of rare precipitating factor. We report a case of Urethral prolapse in a child which was precipitated by traumatic accidental removal of the transurethral catheter.
