Abstract:
A case of intrauterine fragmentation of a Gyne T380 intrauterine device (IUD) is described that was detected during removal of the device. Pelvic ultrasound failed to detect the fragment. Subsequently the woman reported spontaneous expulsion of the device. A description of this uncommon complication of IUD use, diagnosis, management and the need for awareness of the possibility of spontaneous expulsion of the fragment are discussed.
