Abstract
Foreign bodies in the bladder and ensuing calculus formation around it is an unusual cause for intravesical stone formation. Iatrogenic cause due to intrauterine device (popular and safe method of contraception due to its high efficacy, low risk and low-cost) migration to adjacent organs is a rare one with only a few reports in the medical literature. Treatment of foreign bodies is determined by their size, location, shape, and mobility. In most cases, minimally invasive procedures such as endoscopic removal are recommended. We report a case of a 39 year old female who presented with chronic urinary symptoms USG, X-ray and CT scan showed the presence of IUCD with calculus. Cystoscopic examination confirmed the diagnosis and allowed removal of the intrauterine contraceptive device and calculus.
