Özet

We aimed to report a case of uterine arteriovenous malformation which was successfully treated by uter- ine artery embolization. A multiparous 23-year-old woman referred to our clinic for 7 weeks of scar pregnancy. On ultrasound, incisional 32×37 mm gestational sac surrounded with non-pulsatile high flow vessels was demonstrated. Uterine artery embolization was performed with Gelfoam by interventional radiology. The post-em- bolization arteriogram showed complete embolization of the uterine arteriovenous malformation with a slow flow of contrast in both uterine arteries. In clinical suspicion, uterine arteriovenous malformation can be diagnosed with Doppler ultrasonogra- phy and can be treated successfully with either uterine artery embolization or uterine surgery. Uterine arteriovenous malformation is commonly diagnosed in women of childbearing age, angiographic em- bolization should be the firstly preferred treatment.
