    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To describe an uncommon case of bladder calculus arising from an intrauterine device (IUD). METHODS/RESULTS: A female patient with an IUD for the past 10 years consulted for frequent episodes of cystitis. Patient evaluation demonstrated a bladder calculus that warranted surgery. Treatment was by cystolithotomy, which disclosed a 6 cm calculus attached to the IUD. CONCLUSION: Bladder calculus arising from an IUD is rare. The case described herein was successfully managed by cystolithotomy.
