case_images: (A) A CT image illustrates the poorly demarcated displaced IUD from the adjacent bowel and bladder. (B) A CT image indicates that the displaced IUD is closely located in the serosal layer of the bladder. (C) The IUD has migrated outside the uterus, and part of the stent is located in the uterine cavity. (D) CT 3D reconstruction exhibits that the IUD is located to the left of the pelvis.

case_images: The outer end breached the uterine wall, which was poorly demarcated from the adjacent bowel and bladder (Figure 1).
case_images: (A) Intraoperative hysteroscopic view of the left uterine horn indicating the part of the "MYCu" stent with both arms penetrating the myometrium. (B) Intraoperative separation of some adhesions revealing uterine bladder adhesions and the copper particles at the end of one arm of the IUD stent encapsulated in the greater omentum. (C) Exposure of both arms of the IUD after separation of adhesions. Both arms completely penetrated the left uterine horn.

case_images: Intraoperative hysteroscopy revealed an "MYCu" partial stent in the left uterine horn, and its two arms penetrated the myometrium (Figure 2A). One copper arm of the MYCu IUD was observed to have penetrated the serosal layer of the bladder through the vesicouterine peritoneal reflection, while the other copper arm was encapsulated in the greater omentum (Figure 2B). Both arms of the MYCu IUD were completely exposed in the abdominal cavity (Figure 2C).
