Penetration of the gastric wall by an intrauterine device: a case report

Abstract: A 31-year-old woman with epigastric pain underwent a "pi"-shaped copper bearing intrauterine device placement 11 years prior while lactating approximately 14 months after delivery. The patient experienced intermittent epigastric pain caused by the intrauterine device penetrating through the gastric wall. Removal required partial gastrectomy.

“…If the IUD is located primarily in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract or urinary tract, it may be removed by gastroscopy or uroscopy. If the IUD has moved outside the uterus with significant involvement in the abdominal and pelvic cavity, it can be removed by laparoscopy or laparotomy 6–8 . Our case highlights the importance of early recognition and possible management of a migrated IUD in the stomach endoscopically to prevent further complications.…”

“…La evaluarea cazurilor de afectare a organelor tractului gastrointestinal, a fost constatat că cel mai frecvent este implicat colonul sigmoidian, urmat de rect, fiind constatată fie încorporarea parțială, fie completă a DIU în peretele intestinal [10, 23,24]. De asemenea sunt raportate localizări destul de rare de deplasare a DIU în tractul gastrointestinal, cum ar fi: nivelul flexurii splenice al intestinului gros sau peretelui gastric [8, 16,25,26]. Mecanismul posibil de migrare a DIU în asemenea cazuri este determinat de mărirea uterului în timpul sarcinii și creșterea presiunii intrauterine [10,26,27].…”

“…Localizările rare ale DIU migrate, cum ar fi stomac, apendicele vermiform, necesită abordare terapeutică specială. În aceste cazuri clinice au fost propuse următoarele soluții: efectuarea sleeve gastrectomiei [8], rezecției gastrice (cu includerea în porțiunea îndepărtată a dispozitivului deplasat) [25], apendicectomiei [13].…”
