Abstract:
Arteiovenous malformation of the uterus is an extremely rare and becomes one of the causes of severe uterine bleeding. Because uterine bleeding can be aggravated with diagnostic dilatation and curettage, an accurate diagnosis should be achieved before the intervention. This malformation may be congenital or acquired. In the past, the diagnosis is usually made retrospectively after hysterectomy, however, recently it may be made before management by ultrasound, doppler ultrasound, pelvic angiography, magnetic resonance imaging, etc.. We have experienced one case of arteriovenous malformation of the uterus, which is presented with a brief review of the literatures.
