Moreover, some rare complications may occur like uterine perforation and also it migration into gynecologic, urinary or gastro-intestinal organs. In our department we report a case of a 30-year-old woman Gravida 3 Para 3, with three vaginal births. Who came to our gynecologic unit to remove the IDU she kept for 5 years, the IUD’s string wasn’t found. An ultrasonography showed an empty uterine cavity with the IDU in the abdominal cavity, other radiologic examinations were made to localize the device. Laparoscopy was used to remove the IUD successfully.
