Successful management of acquired uterine arteriovenous malformation

Tunis Med. 2018 Jul;96(7):445-447.

Abstract

Uterine arteriovenous malformation (UAVM) is uncommon. They are usually acquired, due to previous intra uterine trauma. We report a case of acquired UAVM in a 28-years-old patient after a medical abortion, diagnosed with ultrasonography and successfully managed with uterine artery embolization.
