Abstract
The intrauterine device is the world's third most popular contraceptive method. However, it is not without risk. Indeed, serious complication can occur such as uterine perforation and migration to adjacent abdomino-pelvic structures. We report a case of a migration of intrauterine device mimicking an acute appendicitis which was removed under laparoscopy. Laparoscopy is the most common surgical procedure, and it is also considered the first recommended treatment.
