title: Vascular abnormalities of the uterus, concerning a case of diffuse cavernous angiomatosis of the uterus.
abstract: A case of diffuse cavernous angiomatosis of the uterus after delivery is reported. Owing to suspicion of abruptio placentae, cesarean section was performed. In the course of this section, several hematomas were noted in the myometrium, making total hysterectomy necessary. In view of this case, etiopathogenesis, causes and dynamics of clinical manifestation, possible complications, differential diagnosis and opportunities for the clinical diagnosis of uterine vascular abnormalities are discussed.
