Résumé

Uterine perforation is a serious problem which can happen after
intrauterine device (IUD) insertion. Migration of the IUD to the
pelvic and abdominal cavity or adjacent organs may be seen following
perforation of the uterus. Migration of an IUD to a far
intra-abdominal site is extremely rare. The patient reported here
had undergone an IUD placement 30 years previously and had no
problems during this period. The IUD was incidentally found at the
left upper quadrant of the abdomen in the mesentery.
