Abstract

Core Tip: Uterine perforation and IUD migration to the organs in the abdominopelvic cavity are serious complications of IUD insertion. We present a case of uterine perforation complicated by IUD migration with the application of intraoperative ultrasound localization. This case highlights that ultrasound, especially intraoperative ultrasound, can provide objective information for the diagnosis and localization of IUD migration, with the advantages of point of care, real-time imaging, convenience, low cost, and lack of radiation. Based on this case and on the relevant literature, we hypothesized the possible mechanism of IUD migration between the anterior bladder wall and the abdominal wall. To the best of our knowledge, no previous research has discussed the process of IUD migration beyond the anterior wall of the bladder.
