Vulvovaginal involvement in toxic epidermal necrolysis: a retrospective study of 40 cases.
To determine the incidence, features, and surgical treatment of vulvovaginal lesions in toxic epidermal necrolysis. ⋯ Genital involvement is frequent during toxic epidermal necrolysis but rarely leads to symptomatic sequelae. Surgery for synechiae is sometimes necessary to recover sexual activity because the vulvovaginal canal is stenotic. Because of the partial effect on pain relief after surgery, a preventive approach should be tried.
