Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecology
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are common contraceptives.
  • Complications, though rare, can occur with IUD use.

Observation:

  • A 27-year-old female presented with symptoms of a lower urinary tract infection.
  • Imaging revealed double bladder lithiasis (stones).

Findings:

  • The stones were found to be secondary to intrauterine device migration into the bladder.
  • A 2 cm calculus contained the migrated IUD, discovered during cystolithotomy.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare complication of IUDs: bladder lithiasis.
  • It underscores the importance of considering IUD migration in patients with urinary symptoms and bladder stones.
