A case of non-puerperal vulvovaginal hematoma is rare in the literature. There is no consensus on the management of vulvovaginal hematoma. In this study, we discussed the approach to a rare case of non-puerperal vulvar hematoma. <em>Case</em><strong>:</strong> We present the case of a 14-year-old adolescent female with a severe vulvar non-obstetric hematoma that occurred after she had been illegally and voluntarily married. <em>Conclusion:</em> In conclusion; vulvar hematoma is the most common non-obstetric cause of perineal trauma and carries the risk of mortality by causing hypovolemic shock. The conservative approach is preferred for small and non-growing hematomas; however, surgical hematoma drainage is used for large and enlarging hematomas. Selective arterial embolization procedure is not common as the required equipment is not available in all healthcare facilities.</p>}, number={S1}, journal={Acta Biomedica Atenei Parmensis}, author={Golbasi, Ceren and Golbasi, Hakan and Bayraktar, Burak and Ertas, İbrahim Egemen}, year={2021}, month={Apr.}, pages={e2021041} }
