We report a rare case in which uterine perforation following the migration of IUD to the right fallopian tube without visceral injury. The patient presented with lower abdominal pain and pain during sex for one year since IUD insertion. On examination, we noted tenderness on the right suprapubic region and on speculum examination, no IUD thread was seen. A radiological pelvic examination showed an empty uterus without an IUD. Laparotomy and retrieval of migrated IUD was done followed by repair of perforated uterus.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Migrated IUD with silent uterine perforation without visceral injury is a distressing clinical condition both to the patient and the clinician.
