ABSTRACT

Uterine arteriovenous malformations are rare, and can be evoked in front of recurrent menometrorrhagia or cataclysmic genital hemorrhage, especially in the event of a history of miscarriages or trophoblastic diseases, they are often secondary to endo-uterine trauma, or less usually congenital. Their diagnosis is essential in order to avoid the realization of a hemostatic curettage which would be useless and especially deleterious, this diagnosis appeals in first intention to the ultrasound coupled to the color Doppler, but the pelvic MRI can also be necessary. Arteriography confirms the diagnosis and allows treatment by arterial embolization, which currently constitutes the treatment of choice, even if surgery retains a place in the event of failure or hemodynamic instability. We report in this article a case of arteriovenous malformation consulting in the emergency department of our maternity hospital for postabortive metrorrhagia.
