Medical Must-See: IUD travels ovary the hills and far away

The IUD’s location was discovered via pelvic CT.
IUD thread held with laparoscopic grasper in process of removal via second port.

A LARC that disembarked was the surprise culprit behind this woman’s abdominal pain.

The 29-year-old presented to Punjab Rangers Teaching Hospital in Pakistan with moderate lower abdominal pain, persisting for several days, and pain on palpation.

She had no history of UTIs or kidney stones and had not noticed any abnormal vaginal bleeding.

But she’d had a copper IUD inserted without complications six months prior.
