  • Title: [Abdominal migration of a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device. Case report and review of the literature].
    Author: Pont M, Lantheaume S.
    Journal: J Gynecol Obstet Biol Reprod (Paris); 2009 Apr; 38(2):179-81. PubMed ID: 19303222.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 27-year-old woman in amenorrhea after the installation of a levonorgestrel releasing intra-uterine device, 3 years previously. In front of pelvic continuing pains, paraclinic explorations diagnosed the DIU-LNG in intra-abdominal situation. An exploratory laparoscopy was realized and allowed its ablation. The authors discuss the systemic distribution of the levonorgestrel and the impact of the DIU-LNG in intra-abdominal situation by a review of the literature.
