3D Detected a Missed IUD Despite Threads at the Cervix in Post Caesarean Section Delivery: A Case Report
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2017, Vol 19, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Intrauterine devices (IUDs) have been used as a commonly convenient, efficient, relatively safe, and inexpensive method of contraception worldwide. Contraceptive efficacy is related to intrauterine location of IUD. Insertion of IUD without prior pelvic evaluation by ultrasound is a predisposing factor for unsuitable placement and may reduce contraception effectiveness. Case Presentation:We present a patient who referred to Royan institute in Tehran (Iran) with IUD displacement due to an inappropriate insertion of the device into her recent cesarean section scar. Conclusions: IUD displacement into the myometrium could be done in clinics, but advanced laparoscopy is needed for confirmed diagnosis and IUD complication management. Three- dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (3DTVUS) clearly displays the correct position of the IUD in the uterine cavity much better than the two-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (2DTVUS).
