title: [Hematohydrometra 11 years after cervix conization: a cause of acute massive lung thromboembolism].
abstract: In this case report an unusual chain of late complications with a fatal outcome following conization is presented. A scarred obliteration of the cervix resulted in the development of a hematohydrometra, which caused a calf vein thrombosis by compression of the vena iliaca externa with obstruction of venous outflow of crural vessels and a final massive pulmonary thrombo-embolism 11 years after the surgical procedure.
