Deskripsi

Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are the most common form of contraceptive used worldwide. The imaging features of IUDs and their potential complications are crucial to recognize in order to determine adequate positioning and ultimately function of the IUD. Herein, we report a rare case of a copper IUD embedded in the left fallopian tube that required surgical removal. Only a few such cases have been reported in the literature to date.
