The presence of retained intrauterine fetal bones is a rare but well-known entity. Patients may present with abnormal uterine bleeding, subfertility, secondary infertility, chronic pelvic pain, vaginal discharge, and, pelvic inflammatory disease. Calcification appears as a hyperechoic area on ultrasound. Hysteroscopy-guided removal of bony fragments is the most widely practiced management and leads to complete resolution of symptoms.
Key words: Abnormal uterine bleeding, Bony fragment, Infertility
