| Popis: | Objective Reports of the insertion of foreign objects to the vagina by psychiatric patients are scant. We present two such cases. Methods Case I resulted from psychotic content and auditory command hallucinations. Case II — the patient, in a manic state used her vagina as a hiding place for keys she stole from a staff member. Results Both cases required gynecological intervention. Conclusions Medical cooperation between psychiatrists and gynecologists was necessary in order to achieve improvement in both the physical and mental conditions of the patients and in order to plan programs for continued care. |
