A case of retention of fetal bones in the uterine cavity after an abortion for six years

Abstract

Cases with prolonged retention of fetal bones in the uterine cavity after abortion are described by many authors. Boomm reports a case of bone retention in a three-month-old fetus that lasted a year and a half after an induced abortion. Thaler describes a three-month retention of fetal bones after an artificial abortion, Meyer-Rugge - a retention of the bones of a three-month-old fetus within 16 months after an induced abortion. Fleshlein reports the same case as M. Rugge. In Lacko's case, the bones of a six-month-old fetus lay after a miscarriage for 6 years. Giss discovered the bones of a five-month-old fetus that had been lying for three years. Mullebrane found the bones of a 6-month-old fetus in the uterus, which had lain in it for 11 years after the induced abortion.
