Intrauterine bone contraceptive device: an accident of nature.
Ultrasonography and hysterosalpingography led to discovery of four bony plates retained in the uterine fundus after an abortion 33 months earlier and which had apparently led to secondary infertility in a 26-year-old woman. Removal of the bony plates was soon followed by a successful pregnancy.
