An Unusual Vesical CalculusKeywords: Bladder stone , intravesical migration , IUCD , Copper-T , intrauterine device Abstract: We report a 52 year old patient presenting with a bladder stone formed over a migrated intrauterine device (copper -T). Her history was pertinent for intrauterine contraceptive (IUCD) device placement 10 years back. Investigations included plain ultrasound of abdomen, X-ray of abdomen, urinalysis, and urine culture. Ultrasound and plain X-ray of the pelvis confirmed a bladder stone formed over a migrated copper-T intrauterine device. The device was removed through suprapubic cystolithotomy. Of all the reported cases of vesical stone formation over a migrated IUCD, this case is unique as the patient was an elderly - 52 year old - female. All previously reported cases are of younger age.
