Nig Q J Hosp Med. 2007 Apr-Jun;17(2):67-8. doi: 10.4314/nqjhm.v17i2.12545.

Abstract

Missing Intrauterine contraceptive devices can migrate to various regions intra-abdominally. Plain radiography usually confirms that the devise is still within the abdominal cavity, while other specific studies may define its relationship with the organ imaged. This is a case of a Migrated IUCD resulting in urinary symptoms.
