Abstract:
Uterine arteriovenous malformations are very rare but potentially life-threatening lesions. These lesions may be congenital or acquired, but especially in patients with a history of infection, curettage, abortion, pelvic surgery or cancer. Ultimate treatment depends on the patients desire for fertility. Embolization therapy is effective method in reproductive age patients of. We have experienced two clinical cases of arteriovenous malformation of uterus, which is presented with a brief review of literature.
