چکیده
Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a tangle of various size vessels with arterial and venous histological characteristics but without evidence of an intervening capillary network [1]. Uterine AVM is classified as either congenital or acquired. Definitive diagnosis has been traditionally made by angiography. With the development of color Doppler and power Doppler ultrasound, diagnosis is now easier. To preserve fertility, uterine arterial embolization is a treatment option. We report a case of acquired AVM that was treated successfully with percutaneous embolotherapy. Case Report
