Abstract
The intra-uterine device (IUD) is the most common existing reversible contraception. Colonic perforation is an infrequent but serious complication of IUD. We report a case of a 32 years old woman with a history of IUD inserted at early puerperal period, who presented in consultation for a suprising reason: the perception of wires from the anus without any specific symptoms. Radiological assessment revealed that the IUD migrated partially into the lumen of the rectosigmoid. Intrauterine device embedded in sigmoid colon wall was successfully been removed endoscopically using a polypectomy snare with the placing of a hemostatic clip.
