Abstract
-
Arteriovenous malformation of uterus is a rare disease in gynecology, and it's etiology,
diagnosis, classification is not definitely established. We have experienced a patient,
22-year-old woman with a uterine arteriovenous malformation presenting with vaginal bleeding,
no other symptom. Diagnosis was established by pelvic ultrasonography and angiography, and the
treatment was done by embolization of arteriovenous malformation of uterus. We report a case
of uterine arteriovenous malformation with a brief review of the literatures.
