Online published on 7 May, 2019. Abstract Vaginal evisceration occurs rarely due to a number of reasons. It is when the intestine protruding through the vaginal introitus can be observed following the disruption of the vagina. Herein, we presented a rare case of a 62-year-old female patient with vaginal evisceration occurred after a trauma (i.e., falling from a height). Vaginal evisceration requires prompt management strategies to preserve the intestinal viability. The patient referred to the Departments of Gynecology and General Surgery. Emergency surgery was not performed until the condition of the patient was stable. No complications were observed after surgery. The least invasive surgical procedure is recommended based on the condition of the patient for repositioning of the viable intestine into the abdominal cavity.
