Arteriovenous Malformation Of The Uterus
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Uterine Arteriovenous malformations (UAVM) are uncommon entities and should be considered in patients who present with profuse genital tract bleeding. There are two types of uterine AVM: acquired and congenital. Acquired uterine AVMs are conformed by communications between the uterine arteries and the myometrial veins, and are caused by an iatrogenic event or a pathological condition. Congenital AVMs are the result of abnormal development of primitive vessels that result in connections between pelvic arteries and veins in the uterus without an interconnecting capillary bed. Initial evaluation of UAVMs is made with ultrasonograghy (US) and US-Doppler. MRI is used when a UAVM is suspected at US. Treatment can be surgical (hysterectomy or surgical removal of AVM), or with selective uterine arterial embolization. We report a case of abnormal uterine bleeding due to UAVM.
