[Cooper IUD and congenital malformation? (author's transl)].
A 23 year old, gravida O, conceived 18 months following insertion of a copper containing IUD. At 10 weeks; gestation the IUD was removed. At 42 weeks' gestation, an infant was delivered normally, with severe upper limb reduction deformities and other minor malformations. However, reviewing the literature the possible role of the IUD in the etiology of limb reduction deformities cannot be supported.
