Quandary of migrated IUCD

Intra Uterine Contraception Device (IUCD) is the most widely used method of reversible contraception. However complications are known to occur with IUCD. Although uterine perforation is not very rare, but asymptomatic migration into urinary bladder and mesoappendix, is a very rare occurrence. We hereby report two such cases. Two cases of migrated IUCD into urinary bladder and mesoappendix is described here. Both case remained asymptomatic over years and diagnosed incidentally. But IUCD was retrieved in both by surgical means. Owing to possibility of potential complications and medico-legal concerns due to migrated IUCD, it needs to be removed even in asymptomatic cases.
