ABSTRACT
Hematocervix is a very rare condition in which blood or blood clot is found in the cervix. It usually occurs after a surgical procedure involving the cervix. Hematocervix presents with lower abdominal pain and can be diagnosed with transvaginal ultrasound. A 45- year-old patient with no risk factors for hematocervix was admitted to the outpatient clinic with new-onset amenorrhea and severe abdominal pain. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a fluid collection in the cervix. The patient was treated with simple dilation and drainage under general anesthesia. The diagnosis, follow-up, and treatment are presented with a review of the literature.
