Intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCDs) can rarely migrate to the bladder, causing complications like calcification and pregnancy. This case highlights the importance of diagnosing and treating migrated IUCDs to manage bladder stones and pregnancy.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Transuterine migration of intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCDs) is a rare but serious complication.
  • Delayed diagnosis can lead to significant patient morbidity.

Observation:

  • A 34-year-old woman presented with an unwanted pregnancy and severe cystitis 4 years after IUCD insertion.
  • Imaging revealed an IUCD migrated into the bladder with secondary calcification.

Findings:

  • Cystoscopy confirmed the diagnosis of a calcified IUCD within the bladder.
  • The patient underwent successful ballistic lithotripsy and endoscopic extraction of the IUCD.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the need for vigilance in diagnosing IUCD migration, even years after insertion.
