Abstract

Vesicovaginal fistula is a debilitating condition with significant medical, social, psychological, and economic consequences for women. It is mainly caused by prolonged obstructed labor in developing countries. On the contrary, iatrogenic injury during surgery is the most common cause in developed countries. The intrauterine contraceptive device is a safe and acceptable method of contraception used by millions of women all over the world. Bladder calculus may be caused by the presence of a foreign body in the bladder. We report a rare case of an intrauterine contraceptive device migrating to the bladder leading to the formation of a vesicovaginal fistula and a large bladder calculus.
