Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare condition that threatens severe uterine bleeding. We present a patient with this pathology, who was hospitalized twice within 5 months in serious condition, because she refused a hysterectomy. Ultrasonography of the uterus detected a vascular formation, the nature of which could be identified only on computed tomography (CT) angiography. Afferent vessels were embolized twice, and after the condition was stabilized, we performed a hysterectomy. For a long time, there was no recurrence of bleeding. The foregoing allows us to recommend the described tactics for the diagnosis and treatment of uterine AVM in women in similar clinical situations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
