Sumario:Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm (UAP) is a rare and potentially life-threatening vascular anomaly caused by inadequate sealing of a ruptured wall of a uterine artery. It mainly occurs after a traumatic lesion and can lead to delayed postpartum hemorrhage. We report a rare case of UAP after an uncomplicated vaginal delivery in a patient with a history of deep-infiltrating endometriosis. Selective coil embolization was successfully performed. UAPs should always be considered in cases of unexplained abdominal pain after surgery or childbirth with or without vaginal bleeding.
