Uterine Arteriovenous Malformations
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 9
Abstract
Background: Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an uncommon vascular disease, which can be a life-threatening condition. Treatment recommendations include embolization versus hysterectomy. Case: A 26 year-old gravida 6 para 2042 presented three months after an early pregnancy loss with persistent vaginal bleeding. Ultrasonography and angiography demonstrated a hypervascular intrauterine mass consistent with an AVM. Hysteroscopy demonstrated an intracavitary mass with increased vascularity which, upon resection and pathology evaluation, was confirmed to be retained products of conception (RPOC). Conclusion: AVMs are a rare condition in which angiography has classically been the gold standard modality to clinch the challenging diagnosis. Since there are several conditions which mimic the presentation of AVMs, hysteroscopy can be a useful tool in the diagnosis, which can influence treatment decisions.
