title: [Atmocausis vaporization. Most severe internal burns following intrauterine use of steam].
abstract: The article gives a brief historical review of the now obsolete method of atmocausis and reports on two cases of very deep internal burns after direct intrauterine application of superheated steam; one of the patients died as a result of this procedure. In the thirties this method was used especially to arrest intrauterine perimenopausal bleeding, but has since been abandoned.
