  • Title: Ultrasonographic evaluation of uterine perforation by an intrauterine device.
    Author: Degesys GE, Panella JS, Moyle J, Rochester D.
    Journal: J Ultrasound Med; 1982; 1(9):375. PubMed ID: 6152961.
    Abstract:
    A case is reported of a 31-year-old woman who had a copper-7 IUD inserted two years prior to admission but became pregnant and had a normal delivery a year prior to admission. The IUD had not exited her body during delivery, and she was asymptomatic. Ultrasonography was used to locate the IUD, which was extending through the wall of the uterus. Upon mini-laparotomy, the IUD was found to be completely outside of the uterus, embedded in the omentum. This represents the first reported case which documents the use of ultrasonographic technology to locate an IUD extending through a uterine wall.
