Steroid reservoir loss during removal of perforated Levonorgestrel 52 mg intrauterine device

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

A 22-year-old G1P1 Caucasian female had hysteroscopic removal of a perforated intrauterine device during which the steroid reservoir of the intrauterine device was lost. Isolated steroid reservoirs are radiolucent on plain film radiography. We located the reservoir in the peritoneal cavity with magnetic resonance imaging and removed it via laparoscopy.
