Abstract

Extrauterine migration of like Copper T is an well reported complication of intrauterine contraceptive device, most of the times occurring at the time of insertion. Migration of Copper T into the peritoneal cavity can present as acute abdomen. Common sites of migration of IUCD are bladder, rectosigmoid. However migration of Copper T in the ovary is an extremely rare event. Here is a case of a 23 year old pregnant lady with intrauterine gestation of 11+2 weeks associated with migration of IUCD into the ovary. The approach was exploratory laparotomy, on which Copper T was seen completely embedded with right ovary, followed by safe removal of the IUCD while conserving the ovary. Hence, to conclude careful insertion of Copper T by trained hand and patient education regarding missing thread is of utmost importance to reduce untoward complications of IUCD.
