Asymptomatic isthmico-cervical uterine perforation with IUD - our experience and literature review
Purpose:
The study aim was to report an unusual case of a misplaced IUD in isthmico-cervical region causing partial uterine perforation and discuss literature data regarding such a condition.
Case Report:
A 50-year-old women was referred to the present institution for IUD extraction. She was diagnosed with spontaneously misplaced IUD located in isthmico-cervical region of the uterus causing partial perforation. The time of dislocation was unknown, as she was completely asymptomatic for ten years after IUD application. More-over, she had no risk factors for device misplacement. The removal of IUD was uneventful.
Conclusion:
Isthmico-cervical misplacement of IUD, although rare, can occur at any time and can be asymptomatic. Thus, women with IUD should be annually checked-up in order to prevent possible IUD complications.
