25 Years Old Copper-T Embedded Vesical Calculus: A Rare Case Report

Abstract


Migration of copper-T into urinary bladder is really rare. Early diagnosis of such rare cases is really very difficult because of negligence by patient or sometime because of late presentation. We present a case of bladder stone with Copper-T (IUCD) embedded in it, which was missing for last 25 years. Complaints of increasing frequency, burning micturation and difficulty in passing urine with missing string of copper-T in vagina just after insertion, could have been the only indicator of this rare presentation.

Keywords
