Migration of an IUCD can lead to significant abdominal pain and requires surgical retrieval.
An 18-year-old patient experienced a migrated CuT380A IUCD, diagnosed after 2 months of abdominal pain.
Laparoscopic removal was successful, emphasizing the importance of regular follow-up after IUCD insertion.
Missed IUCD migration can be diagnosed using imaging techniques such as USG and X-ray.
