[Pregnancy with an intra-uterine device in place (author's transl)]. / Gravidität bei Intrauterinpessar in situ--Kasuistik.

ABSTRACT

PIP: A 33 year old woman, 3 gravida, 2 para, was examined after receiving approval for abortion under the medical indication, due to X-ray exposure and use of anti-depressant drugs. She had become pregnant in spite of an in situ Copper T device, and underwent an ultrasonic examination to determine its position. As the pregnancy was already in the 24th week, it was decided to carry the pregnancy to term. In the 36th week of pregnancy a healthy male baby with a cavernous hemangioma of the right knee was delivered by breech birth. The hemangioma was probably not due to the IUD. The IUD was removed 14 weeks post partum under general anesthesia.
