Case Report (n=1)
Transvesical migration of an IUD is a rare complication that can present with recurrent lower urinary tract symptoms and can be successfully managed with cystoscopic removal.
May support cystoscopic removal for rare transvesical IUD migration; leaves open need for larger series before wider adoption.
Intraunterine device (IUD) is a safe, effective and feasible method used for reversible contraception worldwide. Transvesical migration of an Intrauterine device (IUD) is a rare complication. We describe a case in whom initially a plain abdominopelvic radiography demonstrated calcified string of an IUD in a 42-year-old woman with recurrent lower urinary symptoms (LUTS) and urinary tract infection since 2 years earlier. The IUD had been inserted 12 years earlier and 3 years after placement of the IUD, the patient experienced an uneventful pregnancy and a successful delivery. Sonographic images and later on the cystoscopic procedure confirmed the diagnosis of transvesical migration of the IUD. The IUD was removed using cystoscopic procedure, leaving no complication.

Azandaryani et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Intravesical migration of Intrauterine Device with calculi formation (n=1). Cystoscopic removal with Holmium laser lithotripsy was evaluated on Symptom resolution and complication-free removal.
