Abstract
Bladder calculi are uncommon in adults and usually result either from obstruction or foreign bodies. The present case report describes a 45 year old lady presenting with cystitis. Investigations revealed a bladder calculus encrusted on an intrauterine device (IUD), which was probably inserted 20 years back at the time of medical termination of pregnancy. Ballistic lithotripsy of the bladder stone with cystoscopic extraction of the IUD was successfully carried out.
