Özet
A case of secondary infertility related to prolonged retention of fetal bones in the cervix is presented. A 34-year-old nulliparous woman was admitted to the hospital with chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, and 12-year-long secondary infertility following an induced abortion due to fetal demise. Transvaginal ultrasonography (USG) revealed a linear echogenic area around the posterior cervical wall. An hysteroscopic examination confirmed the existence of an irregular calcified [Pass embedded in the cervix. The mass turned out to be conglomerated fetal bone fragments which probably acted as an intrauterine device. After removal of the cervical mass, the patient conceived spontaneously within four months. The present case report emphasizes the significance of a detailed history and a thorough evaluation by transvaginal USG in the case of secondary infertility following an induced or spontaneous abortion.
