Objective To report a case of vaginal perforation during transvaginal ultrasound-guided follicle aspiration. Design Case report. Setting A university hospital.

Intervention(s) Retrospective evaluation of past medical history and surgical treatment. Main outcome measure(s) Medical follow-up after surgical repair of the perforation. Result(s) Simple vaginal perforation with no damage to the gastrointestinal or genitourinary systems can be repaired at the time of perforation through the vagina.
