The migration or translocation of an intrauterine device (IUD) in the urinary tract is a rare event. Here, we present the case of a 55-year-old woman who accidentally discovered the ectopic presence of an IUD following a radiological examination for pelvic pain caused by a lumbar discopathy. Over the years, the patient had several IUDs inserted without being able to specify which one had migrated. The removal of the IUD was performed laparoscopically with the minimum resection of the bladder wall and the subsequent cystorrhaphy. The evolution of the patient was favorable. To better analyze these events, we conducted an all-time extensive electronic search of the PubMed database and identified 94 eligible articles, with a total of 115 cases. The literature analysis on the IUD migrations shows either the simultaneous existence of the second IUD or of a maximum number of up to two IUD insertions during the life of patients. Thus, in the presented case, we identified five IUD insertions over time, which explained the chronic inflammatory process by forming an important mass of adherents that included the urinary bladder, uterus, omentum, sigmoid colon, and abdominal wall. Therapeutic management must be adapted to each case depending on the intra/extravesical location of the migrated IUD evaluated by imaging.

Fetal biliary lithiasis is a benign condition characterized by the presence of gallstones in the gallbladder of a developing fetus. It is typically detected incidentally during a routine obstetric echography. The incidence of this condition varies from 0.03% to 2.3%. In most cases, fetal cholelithiasis resolves spontaneously and has an excellent prognosis. However, there are certain risk factors that may contribute to its development. Maternal factors that increase the risk of fetal cholelithiasis include placental abruption, elevated estrogen levels, narcotic use, diabetes, enteral nutrition, and specific medications, such as ceftriaxone, furosemide, and prostaglandin E2. Fetal factors that can contribute to the condition include Rhesus or ABO blood group incompatibility, congenital anomalies affecting the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, or urinary systems, twin pregnancies with the fetal demise of one twin, genetic anomalies such as trisomy 21, chromosomal aberrations, cystic fibrosis, growth restriction, oligohydramnios, hepatitis, or idiopathic causes. Usually, the gallstones spontaneously resolve before or after birth without requiring specific treatment. However, in rare instances, complications can arise, such as the formation of biliary sludge, inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis), or obstruction of the bile ducts. If complications occur or if the gallstones persist after birth, further evaluation and management may be necessary. Treatment options can include medication, minimally invasive procedures, or, in severe cases, surgical removal of the gallbladder.
