Transvaginal ultrasonography (USG) revealed a linear echogenic area around the posterior cervical wall. Hysteroscopic examination confirmed the existence of an irregular calcified mass embedded in cervix. The mass turned out to<br />be conglomerated fetal bone fragments which probably acted as an intrauterine device. After removal of the cervical mass, the patient conceived spontaneously within four months.<br />The present case report emphasizes the significance of detailed history and through evaluation by transvaginal USG in case of secondary infertility following an induced or spontaneous abortion.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Gynecology Obstetrics & Reproductive Medicine}, author={Özer, Serdar and Özer, Alev and Kanat Pektaş, Mine and Özakşit, Gülnur}, year={2011}, month={Aug.}, pages={113–115} }
