Intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCD) have been widely accepted contraceptive methods among women for many years due to their efficacy, longevity, reversibility, and safety.
There is a possibility of uterine perforation and migration, but an intravesical perforation is extremely rare. Only a few case reports depicting incrustation of such foreign bodies in the bladder, mostly incomplete and fixed to the perforated wall, are available in the literature. We are here reporting a T-shaped floating stone in the bladder in a female due to complete incrustation of a migrated IUCD in the bladder, which she had received seven years before presentation.
