Foroohar, H. and Behjatnia, Y. (Dept. of Obstetrics and Gynecology, J. S. Saleh Hospital, Razi Medical School, Tehran University, Tehran). Use of prostaglandin F 2 α in the management of missed abortion . Int J Gynaecol Obstet 14 : 541–544, 1976. Intravenous infusion of PG F 2 α was used to induce uterine contractions in 9 cases of missed abortions. Except for one case which was an extra uterine pregnancy, all of the patients aborted successfully. There were no major complications. The use of PG is suggested as a method of choice in the management of missed abortion specially in the second trimester.
