A Normally Carried to Term Pregnancy with a Intrauterine Device (IUD) in Place: Not a Mission Impossible
Abstract
Intracavitary pregnancy with a correctly inserted IUD is a very rare event and can lead to a wide range of complications, mainly in the form of chorioamnionitis and preterm delivery. We present the case of a 39-year old woman who was diagnosed with pregnancy despite the use of an intra-uterine device. After a thorough discussion with her gynecologist over the risks, the patient finally decided to bring the pregnancy to term without removing the device. The pregnancy proceeded without any major complication and the patient finally gave birth to a healthy child. Soon after, another US of the uterine cavity was carried out which showed the device still in position.
