A 23-year-old, healthy woman underwent hysteroscopy during which Hyskon solution was
injected into the uterine cavity. Soon afterward she developed a bleeding coagulopathy
followed by acute respiratory insufficiency and pulmonary edema, necessitating endotracheal
intubation and artificial ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure. This
rare complication of hysteroscopy was most probably due to the injection of Hyskon
solution. (AM J OBSTET GYNECOL 1990;162:44-5.)
