| Abstract: | Intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) is relatively safe but still with some serious risks. Uterus
perforation is rare and would be fatal. A case of Cu-7 IUCD invading into the sigmoid colon through
uterine perforation caused by a pelvic blunt trauma was presented. Our case showed that uterus
perforation by an IUCD could induce utero-sigmoid fistula which is likely to be missed. Imaging is
required when the patients with IUCD present abdominal pain, particularly with a history of trauma. |
