Abstract
Foreign bodies may be introduced into the bladder iatrogenically, via migration from adjacent organs, as in our patient or by penetrating injuries.1 Transuterine migration of an intrauterine device into the urinary bladder is a rare complication. Herein we report a 48-year-old female who complained of intermittent hematuria with frequent urinary tract infection (UTI) for 2 months. An IUD with secondary stone formation was found by plain abdominal radiography. The bladder stone was fragmented by an electrohydraulic lithotriptor and the IUD was removed by grasping forceps. The postoperative course was uneventful.
