Hysteroscopic diagnosis and successful management of an acquired uterine arteriovenous malformation by percutaneous embolotherapy

Arteriovenous malformations are a rare but important cause of abnormal uterine bleeding in the midlife. Acquired uterine arteriovenous malformations are being increasingly diagnosed by transvaginal ultrasound, color Doppler and magnetic resonance angiography. We present a case where the suspected di...

description Arteriovenous malformations are a rare but important cause of abnormal uterine bleeding in the midlife. Acquired uterine arteriovenous malformations are being increasingly diagnosed by transvaginal ultrasound, color Doppler and magnetic resonance angiography. We present a case where the suspected diagnosis was placental polyp or retained products of conception and hysteroscopy showed typical findings of uterine arteriovenous malformation, which was later, confirmed by magnetic resonance angiography. The patient underwent arterial embolization and recovered satisfactorily with resolution of hemorrhage and resumption of normal menstrual cycles. Abnormal bleeding due to arteriovenous malformations is worsened by curettage and hence its recognition is important in the management of abnormal uterine bleeding in the midlife.
