Arteriovenous malformation of the gluteal artery during pregnancy.
We describe a case of a congenital arteriovenous fistula of the gluteal artery, a posterior branch of the left iliac artery, developing during pregnancy without postpartum regression after delivery. Surgical excision without preoperative embolisation was made possible by prior ligation of the gluteal artery.
