1Service de Gynécologie-Obstétrique, de Médecine de la Reproduction et de Médecine Faetale, Hôpital Saint-Roch, Nice.
Abstract:
There have been no other cases of migration of an intrauterin device reported to have caused venous compression. In the case reported here, the intrauterin device was removed surgically together with a portion of the damaged vein. A venous graft from the internal jugular vein was performed. The mechanisms of perforations, different localizations are discussed and diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are proposed.
