Abstract

The intrauterine device (IUD) is a common method of contraception among women. As one of complications of IUD, perforation occurs in approximately 1-2 in 1000 insertions. Although migration of IUD may pursue asymptomatic course, symptoms of migration to the urinary bladder can include lower
urinary tract symptoms, stone formation around the IUD and uterovesical fistula. In this report, we present a case of an IUD migration into the urinary bladder of a 34-year-old woman at the Clinical Hospital Center Zagreb.
