Herein are presented 2 cases from the last 5 years. In case 1, a fallopian tube intussusception without perforation, misdiagnosed as a myoma, was observed at hysteroscopy of the uterine cavity18 months after last vacuum aspiration. In case 2, a fallopian tube incarceration, misdiagnosed as a placental polyp, was observed 3 months after last suction curettage. Although uterine perforation caused by suction curettage after abortion or of afterbirth occurs rarely, it is a complication that must be taken into account because after this procedure there may be painful symptoms such as the typical triad of abdominal pain, vaginal discharge, and dyspareunia.

Abstract

Herein are presented 2 cases from the last 5 years. In case 1, a fallopian tube intussusception without perforation, misdiagnosed as a myoma, was observed at hysteroscopy of the uterine cavity18 months after last vacuum aspiration. In case 2, a fallopian tube incarceration, misdiagnosed as a placental polyp, was observed 3 months after last suction curettage. Although uterine perforation caused by suction curettage after abortion or of afterbirth occurs rarely, it is a complication that must be taken into account because after this procedure there may be painful symptoms such as the typical triad of abdominal pain, vaginal discharge, and dyspareunia. In some situations, as in case 2, amenorrhea occurs alone, without other distressing symptoms. In both cases, a hysteroscopic approach was used; laparoscopy was necessary only in case 2.
