The ultrasound examination of a 49-year-old female patient with irregular and painful menstruations has revealed a foreign body in the uterus. In 1973 (19 years prior to procedure), the patient had an artificial abortion and since then has not been able to conceive. In 1977, hysterosalpingography and laparoscopy did not reveal the cause of infertility. Hysteroscopy was undertaken and diaphysis of a fetal bone 22 mm long was removed. This bone was most probably, functioning as an intrauterine device, the cause of infertility. Thus, the authors' findings strengthen once again the association between abortion and infertility. It is concluded that transvaginal sonography and hysteroscopy open new possibilities in identifying and treating such disturbances.
一名49岁月经不规律且疼痛的女性患者的超声检查显示子宫内有异物。1973年（手术前19年），该患者进行了人工流产，此后一直无法受孕。1977年，子宫输卵管造影和腹腔镜检查未发现不孕原因。进行了宫腔镜检查并取出了一根22毫米长的胎儿骨干。这根骨头很可能起到了宫内节育器的作用，是不孕的原因。因此，作者的发现再次强化了流产与不孕之间的关联。结论是经阴道超声检查和宫腔镜检查为识别和治疗此类病症开辟了新的可能性。
