Simmi Aggarwal et al. J Family Med Prim Care. 2014 Oct-Dec.

Abstract

Intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCD) have been associated with the multitude of complications. We present a rare case report of a 30-year-old female in whom the IUCD (Cu-T) migrated into the urinary bladder leading to calculus formation. The migrated IUCD encrusted with stones was successfully retrieved.

Keywords: Intrauterine contraceptive devices; uterine perforation; vesical calculus.
