Abstract
Intrauterine retention of fetal bone is a rare complication of abortion that can cause secondary infertility by an unknown mechanism. We report such a case in which menstrual fluid prostanoids were measured to elucidate the possible pathophysiology. The pattern of prostanoid increases was similar to that seen in intrauterine device users.
