| description | The presence of intrauterine bone fragments is rare. These patients may present with pelvic pain, dysmenorrhoea,
abnormal uterine bleeding and secondary infertility. We present a case of a 36-year old woman complaining of
dysfunctional uterine bleeding with secondary infertility of six years duration.Detailed history, pelvic ultrasonography,
hysteroscopy and histopathological examination of the hysteroscopically evacuated uterine cavity fragments were
performed. Morphological examination revealed interesting presence of some tiny bony chips along with endometrial
tissue. Intrauterine retained foetal bony chips due to previous medical termination of pregnancy was identified to be
the cause of secondary infertility in the present case. Our case reiterates the importance of analyzing detailed clinical
history in the evaluation of patients with secondary infertility |
