In this report we explore the clinical journey of a female patient that presented with a history of failed contraception and more recently recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI). Renal tract ultrasound was done to investigate the cause of UTI and a bladder calculus was seen. During cystolithotripsy an intrauterine device (IUD) was seen embedded in the calculus. The risk factors for intravesical migration of an IUD are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
