Abstract:
A case of iatrogenic uterine perforation occurred during dilation and curettage for treatment of a missed abortion at 14 weeks' gestation. Real-time transabdominal sonography was used to detect the fundal perforation and to follow serially the amount of fluid in the cul-de-sac. It is recommended that this noninvasive and direct diagnostic tool be used in the management of uterine perforation.
