Pulmonary hemorrhage is a rare but sometimes fatal complication of hysteroscopy. We present the first case report in which a healthy patient developed lung collapse induced by pulmonary hemorrhage after operative hysteroscopy. The possible etiologies of this rare complication are also discussed. Copyright © 2007 S. Karger AG, Basel [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
