Migrated intra-uterine device to infra-umbilical skin: a rare case report
To our knowledge, this is what likely to be the first reported case of IUD migration to the infra-umbilical skin which bestows a new finding to the existing literatures. Despite rare occurrence, possible IUD complications should be included in the informed consent process before insertion. Self-examination of the strings and vigilant evaluation at regular checkup is recommended for early detection of migrated IUDs.
