“…3,4,5 Due to the asymptomatic nature of the perforation, the true incidence of the uterus perforation by an IUD is most likely higher than reported. 6 The exact mechanism that causes uterine perforation and migration of the IUD is not entirely known.…”

The intrauterine device (IUD) is common method of contraception among women because of its low cost and high efficacy. Perforations are possible; most perforations occur at the time of insertion, yet the complication can occur with a previously inserted IUD. Perforation of the bladder by an IUD is extremely rare. In this report, we present a case in which the IUD perforated the uterus and migrated to the bladder. At the time of the diagnosis, the patient was 8 weeks pregnant.

“…Perforation of the uterus by an IUD is reported to occur following 0.2-9.6 per 1000 insertions; however fewer than 2% involve the bladder. 1 Intravesical migration and secondary stone formation has been reported with other IUDs but to our knowledge this is the first reported case of intravesical migration of a LNG-IUS.…”

The intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) has been in use for many years as an effective means of birth control. Migration of the device from the uterus to the pelvic cavity is not uncommon and has been reported previously, however intravesical migration and secondary calculus formation is relatively rare. We report a 28-year-old woman in whom an intrauterine contraceptive device (LNG-IUS) migrated from the uterus to the bladder and resulted in stone formation. This case shows that the newer hormone releasing IUDs may also cause bladder perforation.

“…In our cases, the IUD embedded in the ureter was removed by ureteroscopy, the other two cases was removed by laparoscope. A review revealed that 93% of the reported cases who had surgery attempted laparoscopically [13], but cases of both abdominal and pelvic organ perforations have the open surgery rate of 57.1% [14]. In conclusion, minimally-invasive methods, such as laparoscopy or endoscopy, are standard approach for removal of migrated IUD.…”
