Uterine arteriovenous malformation are very rare but life-threatening disease with massive uterine bleeding. These lesions may be congenital or acquired, the diagnosis is made by Doppler ultrasound, CT, MRI, pelvic angiography. We have experienced a patient, 33-year-old woman with vaginal bleeding after a cesarean section episode. The diagnosis was established by angiography, and the treatment was done successfully by uterine artery embolization. We report a case of uterine arteriovenous malformation, which is presented with a brief review of the literatures.
