Uterine arteriovenous malformation needing uterine artery embolization case reports

BEENA K

Abstract


Uterine aretriovenous malformation is a rare                                  condition which needs a high index of suspicion for diagnosis. AVMs can be congenital or acquired. Acquired uterine AVMs are often preceded by pregnancy. We report 2 patients with acquired uterine AVM treated with uterine artery embolization.
