Expected CT appearance 4 days after uncomplicated vaginal hysterectomy (VH) performed to treat genital prolapse (GP), in an 80-year-old female suffering from abdominal distension, vague pelvic pain and low-grade fever. Multiplanar contrast-enhanced images (A–C) show a moderately distended vagina (arrows) with loss of the usual transverse configuration, circumferential mural thickening and marked, uniform mucosal enhancement reflecting diffuse vaginal oedema. The patient was discharged without any additional treatment (Partially reproduced from open access ref. no [58])
