Abstract
-
Intrauterine devices (IUD) can lead to several complications, including uterine perforation, ectopic pregnancy, spontaneous abortion and pelvic inflammatory disease, but these occur infrequently. The migration of an intrauterine device into the bladder, with the formation of a stone, occurs rarely. We report a case of a 45-year-old multiparous woman, with an egg sized and shaped bladder stone around an intrauterine device.
