Abstract:
Two Enterobius vermicularis organisms invading a macerated embryo 2 cm in length were found in the tissue from an endometrial curettage performed for missed abortion in a pregnant woman. Ova from the helminths were recovered from the vagina and endometrium of the patient. This most unusual case provides further evidence for the invading capacity of E vermicularis.
