In this case report, we propone the case of a woman, gravida 3 para 2, admitted at the emergency department presenting deep vaginal bleeding and suspicion of incomplete miscarriage at 11 weeks of pregnancy. The suspect of AVM was made with noninvasive procedure; transvaginal ultrasound examination with the advantage of color Doppler showed a myometrial hypervascular lesion of the posterior wall. Pulsed Doppler permitted the waveform analysis of uterine arteries and three-dimensional sonography with color Doppler and reconstructions clearly showed dilated ad tortuous blood vessels within the contest of the myometrium. Magnetic resonance angiography showed multiple tubular structures with tortuous appearance that confirmed the suspicion of AVM. Uterine artery embolization was performed of the right uterine artery. One month after uterine embolization, the ultrasound control confirmed the complete resolution of the AVM.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/jmu.jmu_103_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,28]],"date-time":"2024-08-28T19:44:46Z","timestamp":1724874286000},"page":"266-270","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Uterine Arteriovenous Malformations"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Martina","family":"Bartolone","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Maternal and Child Health and Urologynecological Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Umberto I Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Enrica","family":"Saluzzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Maternal and Child Health and Urologynecological Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Umberto I Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Allegra","family":"Mazzeo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Maternal and Child Health and Urologynecological Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Umberto I Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Valentina","family":"D\u2019Ambrosio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Maternal and Child Health and Urologynecological Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Umberto I Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Corno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Maternal and Child Health and Urologynecological Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Umberto I Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniele Di","family":"Mascio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Maternal and Child Health and Urologynecological Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Umberto I Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lucia","family":"Manganaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiological, Oncological and Pathological Sciences, Policlinico Umberto I, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonella","family":"Giancotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Maternal and Child Health and Urologynecological Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Umberto I Hospital, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"295","DOI":"10.1002\/jcu.1870110512","article-title":"Sonographic diagnosis of arteriovenous malformation of the uterus and pelvis","volume":"11","author":"Diwan","year":"1983","journal-title":"J Clin Ultrasound"},{"key":"R2-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"517","DOI":"10.1016\/S1051-0443(91)72234-3","article-title":"Uterine arteriovenous malformations: Primary treatment with therapeutic embolization","volume":"2","author":"Vogelzang","year":"1991","journal-title":"J Vasc Interv Radiol"},{"key":"R3-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"731.e1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2015.12.024","article-title":"Ultrasound diagnosis and management of acquired uterine enhanced myometrial vascularity\/arteriovenous malformations","volume":"214","author":"Timor-Tritsch","year":"2016","journal-title":"Am J Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"R4-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"47","DOI":"10.1148\/radiographics.22.1.g02ja0947","article-title":"Color Doppler US in the evaluation of uterine vascular abnormalities","volume":"22","author":"Polat","year":"2002","journal-title":"Radiographics"},{"key":"R5-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e6","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0035-1563721","article-title":"A systematic review of acquired uterine arteriovenous malformations: Pathophysiology, diagnosis, and transcatheter treatment","volume":"6","author":"Yoon","year":"2016","journal-title":"AJP Rep"},{"key":"R6-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"153","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmig.2018.05.001","article-title":"Fertility, pregnancy, and clinical outcomes after uterine arteriovenous malformation management","volume":"26","author":"Delplanque","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Minim Invasive Gynecol"},{"key":"R7-20240830","first-page":"398","article-title":"Uterine artery malformation as a hidden cause of severe uterine bleeding.
