Description
Summary:Uterine perforation is an uncommon but potential risk during all intrauterine procedures. We display a set of images from ultrasound, hysteroscopy, and laparoscopy, as well as a video from laparoscopy, pertaining to a case of uterine perforation with omental adhesions. The complication was diagnosed several months after dilatation of the cervix and curettage of the uterus following a missed miscarriage. This is a rare but serious complication following a commonly performed procedure and the case highlights the importance of investigating new symptoms even after a seemingly uncomplicated procedure.
