Description

Perforation of the uterus is a recognized complication associated with the use of an intrauterine contraceptive (IUCD). However, migration of an IUCD into the bladder, with or without stone formation, is exceptionally rare. We report the case of a patient with a displaced IUCD that acted as a nidus for bladder lithiasis. (author)
