ABSTRACT

Uterine perforation secondary to placement of intrauterine devices is a rare complication that may affect contiguous organs such as bladder, small intestine, rectum, and sigmoid; all extremely serious depending on the organ involved. We report the case of a 22-year-old woman with complete uterines perforation due to intrauterine device affected that rectum sigmoid with asymptomatic presentation. We emphasize the postoperatory evolution and its management as well as a literature review
