Grains embedded as vaginal foreign bodies sometime occur in Chinese children. We summarized the sonographic characteristics of vaginal grains in 4 Chinese children and retrospectively analyzed the clinical data. Abdominal sonography can be the first choice for diagnosis of vaginal grains because of its noninvasive nature, high specificity, and low cost.
