A 23-year-old, healthy woman underwent hysteroscopy during which Hyskon solution was injected into the uterine cavity. Soon afterward she developed a bleeding coagulopathy followed by acute respiratory insufficiency and pulmonary edema, necessitating endotracheal intubation and artificial ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure. This rare complication of hysteroscopy was most probably due to the injection of Hyskon solution.
