We report an uncommon case of a bladder lithiasis arising from an intrauterine device (i.u.d.). A female patient with i.u.d. for 13 years consulted for frequent episodes of cystitis. Patient evaluation demonstrated a bladder stone. Treatment was cystolithotomy, which dislodged two stones. One stone was attached to the IUD. Bladder calculus arising from an IUD is very rare. We review the literature.
