    AbstractBlue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is a rare disorder characterized by multiple recurrent vascular malformations. Herein we report the case of a patient with BRBNS and placenta previa. Sonography and MRI clearly identified several hemangiomas located adjacent to the uterus with none adjacent to the anterior lower uterine segment. This preoperative information helped us perform the uterine wall incision safely during the cesarean delivery. The presence and location of hemangiomas adjacent to the uterus should be carefully examined in a pregnant woman with BRBNS prior to elective or emergency cesarean delivery.Copyright © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
