Abstrakt: A patient who presented acutely with severe pelvic sepsis related to Dalkon shield is reported. Although the Dalkon syndrome has been described (Tatum HJ, Connell EB. Intrauterine contraception. Duvant: Creative Informatics, 1985) the term is not widely used and controversy surrounds this condition. However, the condition may still present to the modern day gynaecologist.
