Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are the most common form of contraceptive used worldwide. The imaging features of IUDs and their potential complications are crucial to recognize in order to determine adequate positioning and ultimately function of the IUD. Herein, we report a rare case of a copper IUD embedded in the left fallopian tube that required surgical removal. Only a few such cases have been reported in the literature to date.
宫内节育器（IUD）是全球使用最广泛的避孕方式。了解宫内节育器的影像学特征及其潜在并发症对于确定其正确位置并最终确保其功能至关重要。在此，我们报告一例罕见的铜制宫内节育器嵌入左侧输卵管并需手术取出的病例。迄今为止，文献中仅报道过少数此类病例。
