Abstract

A migrated Copper T could go unnoticed or can present with symptoms, depending on the organ of migration. Urinary bladder perforation by an IUD is a very unusual presentation. Here, we report a case, where the patient presented with urinary symptoms, which on further evaluation, proved to be caused by a Copper T that had eroded into the Urinary Bladder.
