title: Differential diagnosis of intra-uterine device migrating to bladder using radiographic image of calculus formation and review of literature.
abstract: A 28-year-old woman in whom a copper-T 280-A intra-uterine device (IUD) had been placed 6 months previously, presented complaining of urinary system infection and lower abdominal pain.
