Abstract

Abstract : Background . Uterine perforation and transvesical migration of an intrauterine device are rare complications. Case . A 28-year-old woman who had an intrauterine device was admitted to our outpatient clinic with complaints of amenorrhea lasting 5 weeks and pelvic pain lasting a year. Transvaginal ultrasonography revealed embedding of the intrauterine device in the bladder. The misplaced device was removed by laparotomy. Conclusion . The followup of intrauterine device localization with transvaginal ultrasonography is essential for early detection of possible serious complications.
