Abstract

The Authors describe a rare case of IUD tubal migration. The uterine device had been inserted twelve years before. A hysteroscopical removal of the IUD was tried unsuccessfully, because it was impossible to locate it either in the uterine cavity or at the fallopian tube orifice level. The patient underwent a minilaparotomy and the IUD was found out at the peritubal level. An ecographic control of all intrauterine devices insertions is recommended.
