Clitoral phimosis or preputial fusion may occur as a result of atrophic vaginitis among other conditions. A 72-year-old woman presented with atrophic vaginitis, preputial fusion, and a painful periclitorial pseudocyst. We suggest that a minimal surgery approach in a manual retraction of the synarchies without making an incision is a gentle and effective surgical management of preputial fusion. Suturing the ends from each other combined with continuous topical prophylaxis will minimise the risk of recurrence of pseudo-cyst and prevent worsening scar tissue formation.
