Abstract
Uterine Arteriovenous Malformations: A Rare Cause of Vaginal Hemorrhage after Hysterectomy
Jacques L, Lund M and Baruah D
Uterine arteriovenous malformations are rare causes of gynaecologic bleeding. The majority of cases are congenital, but at times can occur after obstetric or gynaecologic procedures, primarily uterine curettage or rarely hysterectomy. We present the case of a 27-year-old female who experienced vaginal bleeding one month after a total laparoscopic hysterectomy as a result of a uterine arteriovenous malformation. Two attempts at selective embolization of the arteriovenous malformation were required prior to cessation of bleeding.
