description Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is defined as the descent of one or more of the pelvic organs from their normal position. This is commonly associated with multiparity, postmenopausal status, and obesity. Most of the cases present as uterine descent with or without cystocele, rectocele, or enterocele. But, the descent of pelvic organs in adolescent and young, nulliparous women is an uncommon presentation.  We report a case of a 19-year-old girl with extreme elongation of the cervix without uterine descent. Uterus size was normal, no adnexal abnormality was there. The patient was apprehensive about her future fertility and pregnancy outcome. This is a rare case as it has not been reported in the preceding three decades of literature searches and poses a challenge in management decisions because we must consider future fertility while restoring normal anatomy.
