The intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) has been in use for many years as an effective means of birth control. Migration of the device from the uterus to the pelvic cavity is not uncommon and has been reported previously, however intravesical migration and secondary calculus formation is relatively rare. We report a 28-year-old woman in whom an intrauterine contraceptive device (LNG-IUS) migrated from the uterus to the bladder and resulted in stone formation. This case shows that the newer hormone releasing IUDs may also cause bladder perforation.
