Ultrasonic diagnosis of haematocervix following cone biopsy of the cervix.

Haematocervix is a rare condition in which the cervix is dilated and the endocervical canal is filled with blood. Jeffcoate (1967) described a case of haematocervix in a patient with vaginal atresia. Clark et al. (1973) described two cases of haematocervix following cone biopsy and dealt with by total abdominal hysterectomy. Recently one case following cone biopsy has been seen in our hospital, diagnosed with ultrasonography. This to our knowledge is the only one reported in the literature.
