A rare complication of positioning of an IUD represented by utero-vesical puncture is reported in a woman of 37 who was using this contraceptive technique for the first time. The IUD was removed endoscopically, about 2 years after its positioning. The observation was an almost chance event by echography performed for vague pains in the suprapubic region.
