[Migration of an intrauterine device into the bladder. Report of a case].
OBJECTIVE
We report an uncommon case of a bladder lithiasis arising from an intrauterine device (i.u.d.).


METHODS
A female patient with i.u.d. for 13 years consulted for frequent episodes of cystitis. Patient evaluation demonstrated a bladder stone.


RESULTS
Treatment was cystolithotomy, which dislodged two stones. One stone was attached to the IUD.


CONCLUSIONS
Bladder calculus arising from an IUD is very rare. We review the literature.
