Contraceptive migration is rare overall. It is of variable location. Its confirmation relies on the performance of imaging means. We report two cases of contraceptive migration of different location, one concerning the intrauterine device found in the left iliac fossa and the Jadelle implant found in the left pulmonary artery diagnosed in the radiology department of the Marie Curie Medical Clinic and the Commune III Health Center of Bamako. The combination of UPA-ultrasound, CT scan, and even pelvic magnetic resonance imaging in some cases allowed confirmation of the diagnosis by specifying the exact topography. Migration of contraceptives presents difficulties in clinical diagnosis and imaging remains the only alternative for a positive and topographic diagnosis.
