Se analizaron prospectivamente 52 embarazos accidentales con dispositivo intrauterino (DIU) in situ. Se observo que el 76,8 por ciento de las usuarias eran mujeres con menos de 30 anos y con dos o menos partos previos en el 61,5 por ciento. La frecuencia del embarazo simultaneo con un DIU incrementa las complicaciones relacionadas con el embarazo y por consiguiente,el numero de consultas y estancia hospitalaria
