Introduction: Migratory foreign bodies make a separate group of intravesical foreign bodies and any object in vicinity of bladder may migrate into it. Material and methods: Retrospective analysis of migratory intravesical foreign bodies which were treated over last five year, done and discussed with the available literature. Results: Different foreign bodies reported to migrate into the bladder through different route. In most of the cases, they present with minimal lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) which are often ignored by patients and clinicians; and it is the haematuria which draw medical attention. With time they encrustate into stone but rarely seen to migrate further. Conclusion: Almost any foreign body in lower abdomen may migrate into urinary bladder through almost any possible route, from where they rarely migrate further. Bladder remains as an ideal receptacle to retain them for long with encrustation.
