Uterine perforation as a rare complication of attempted pregnancy termination with misoprostol: a case report.

AbstractBACKGROUND:
Abortion induced by drugs is now a viable alternative to surgically induced abortion, but it can cause severe complications.
CASE:
Products of conception were found in the peritoneal cavity after administration of misoprostol.
CONCLUSION:
The administration of misoprostol for pregnancy termination should be performed carefully in women with uterine wall defects.
