Arteriovenous malformations of the uterus

Obstet Gynecol. 1989 Feb;73(2):209-14.

Abstract

Six cases of the rare condition of arteriovenous malformation of the uterus are reported. Uterine bleeding was the most common presentation, with the site of the lesion and the caliber of the vessels determining its degree. A preoperative diagnosis was made by angiography in two patients, and was aided by ultrasonography in one.
