Pain in the Lower Abdomen Revealing the Migration of an Intrauterine Device into the Intra-Peritoneal Space: A Case Report

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The intrauterine device (IUD) is one of the most effective and widely used contraceptive methods worldwide. Perforation is rare after the insertion of an IUD, however, it is one of the most serious complications. We report the case of a 34-year-old patient who presented with left iliac fossa pain one month after the insertion of an IUD. Through this case report and in light of the literature review, we emphasize the importance of radiographic and ultrasound examinations in the diagnosis of this complication.
