Abstract EN
Background.
Intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs) are widely utilized all over the world owing to their low cost and high efficacy.
Uterine perforation is a rare complication that may occur at IUD insertion resulting in extrauterine location of the IUD.
Traditionally, surgical removal of dislocated IUDs has been recommended.
Case.
A 68-year-old patient who had an IUD (Lippes loop) inserted 32 years ago and whose routine examination incidentally revealed a dislocated IUD in the abdominal cavity.
The patient remained asymptomatic during three years of follow-up and the IUD was left in place.
Conclusion.
Asymptomatic patients, whose vaginal examinations and ultrasonography or X-ray results reveal a dislocated IUD, may benefit from conservative management.
