ABSTRACT

The phantom sensation is the perception that a part of the body subsists despite having been removed. It usually manifests as a kinetic or exteroceptive sensation. There is no single mechanism that satisfactorily explains the phantom limb sensation, which can manifest in any part of the body that has sensory perception, both somatic and visceral. We report the case of a 68-year-old female with phantom sensation that presented five months after the surgical correction of a pelvic organ prolapse IVCx.
