RAMIREZ, Carlos Max Wildberger et al. Uterine arteriovenous malformation. Rev. Nac. (Itauguá) [online]. 2016, vol.8, n.2, pp.81-93. ISSN 2072-8174.  https://doi.org/10.18004/rdn2016.0008.02.081-093.

Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVMV) is a rare cause of uterine bleeding, since most cases are asymptomatic. The MAVU are intramyometrial arteriovenous variceal dilatations without capillary involvement. They propouse a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge in the effort for preservation of fertility, constituting the embolization its main treatment. At present, the gold standard for the diagnosis of this pathology is angiography. However, less invasive modalities such as color Doppler ultrasound are increasingly used for diagnosis. We present the case of a 20-year-old woman with a history of molar pregnancy and excessive menstrual bleeding due to MAVU.

Keywords : uterine arteriovenous malformation; hypermenorrhea.
