| Popis: |
Intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) is commonly used to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Migration of IUCD into the bladder is a rare complication. We present a case of a 38-year-old woman with a history of IUCD insertion 05 years ago, immediately following her last delivery. She had a history of unplanned pregnancy 05 months following the IUCD insertion. She also complained of lower urinary tract storage symptoms. Clinical examination revealed suprapubic tenderness. Non-contrast abdomino-pelvic CT scan and cystoscopy confirmed the presence of an IUCD in the bladder with an attached stone. Open Cystotomy was performed, successfully removing the bladder stone with the intravesical IUCD. The patient was discharged without complications and reported symptom resolution during follow-up. IUCD migration into the bladder is a rare but clinically significant complication. There should be a high index of suspicion of migration in a patient with unexpected pregnancy associated with urinary complaint following IUCD insertion. |
