title: Partial Perforation of the Bladder by an Intrauterine Device in a Pregnant Woman: A Case Report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Perforation by intrauterine devices (IUDs) can involve. neighboring organs such as the bladder.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 29-year-old woman with 2 previous cesarean section deliveries was diagnosed in the early stage of pregnancy with an IUD that had partially perforated the bladder. The exact location of the migrated IUD was determined with pelvic ultrasonography and endoscopic techniques, and the IUD was successfully retrieved with a hysteroscope.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The use of imaging studies and endoscopic techniques such as ultrasonic examination, hysteroscopy, and cystoscopy are essential for identifying the location of an IUD that has partially perforated the bladder. Depending on the application of the correct treatment method, good results can be achieved following partial perforation of the bladder by an IUD.
