An unusual complication of ıntrauterine Device
Abstract
We present a case of an unusual complication of intrauterine device (IUD). Uterine perforations
are among the most serious complications associated with the insertion of an intrauterine device.
In this case, the perforation involved the cervical wall and it was asymptomatic for a period of
unknown time. Inadequate pelvic examination before insertion and inexperience of the inserting
person might be predisposing factors for uterine perforation. We suggest that the patient should
be counseled on self-maintenance and checking for the threads one month after insertion and
regularly thereafter.
