Uterine arteriovenous malformation mimicking retained products Of conception – treated with embolization

Uterine arteriovenous malformations are uncommon but pose the risk of potentially life-threatening hemorrhage. A 29-year-old pregnant female presented with vaginal spotting, after which ultrasound diagnosis of missed miscarriage was made and medical management undertaken. Vaginal spotting continued...

description Uterine arteriovenous malformations are uncommon but pose the risk of potentially life-threatening hemorrhage. A 29-year-old pregnant female presented with vaginal spotting, after which ultrasound diagnosis of missed miscarriage was made and medical management undertaken. Vaginal spotting continued post-treatment which led to repeat pelvic ultrasound and subsequent magnetic resonance imaging which confirmed a uterine arteriovenous malformation masquerading as retained products of conception. Uterine instrumentation with dilatation and curettage could have been potentially devastating. The patient was successfully treated with uterine artery embolization.
