Intravesical Migration of Lippes Loop with Stone Formation

Abstract

The migration of intra‐uterine devices into the bladder with the formation of stone occurs rarely (Woods and Wise, 1980). We record an example.

Bladder perforation: uncommon complication with a misplaced IUD

“…The most common findings include microscopic hematuria with or without pyuria and a positive bacterial urinary culture [1]. If the IUD or a part of it is retained for a long time in the bladder, it may act as a nucleus for urinary stone formation [3][4][5]. Perforation of the bladder has also caused menouria (hematuria during menses) in one woman [6].…”

“…The most common complications of IUD use are bleeding, pain and expulsion, while perforation of the urinary bladder wall is exceedingly uncommon. Thus far, only about ten cases of bladder perforation by an IUD have been described in the literature [1][2][3], and none of these instances has been associated with second-generation IUDs.…”

An unusual case of cystolithiasis: a urological lesson for gynaecologists

“…Perforation of the uterus by an IUCD with migration into the bladder and secondary vesical stone formation is uncommon, although it has been described previously 1–3 . To our knowledge, this is the first report of penetration of the bladder wall by the thread alone and the subsequent stone formation.…”

Migration of intrauterine copper 7 leading to vesical calculus

“…Those may be self introduced, iatrogenic or migrated from different organs like uterus, rectum, vagina, etc [1]. But migration of IUCD into the urinary bladder and calculus formation around that has rarely been published [2].…”
