  Case Reports

  [Uterine arteriovenous malformation as cause of uterine bleeding of sudden onset. Doppler ultrasound utility, other imaging methods and the minimally invasive treatment].

  Uterine arteriovenous malformation is a rare disorder that can cause sudden life-threatening vaginal bleeding. ⋯ The use of office gynecologic ultrasound in combination with other imaging techniques is an important tool in the diagnosis and localization of uterine arteriovenous malformation. Embolization of supplying arteries is considered a safe and effective therapeutic option due to advances in radiologic intervention techniques. Advantages of this procedure include a minimally-invasive technique, low morbidity and preservation of uterine function.
