[Uterine arteriovenous malformation: US, color Doppler US and MRI findings (case report)].
Uterine arteriovenous malformations are rare but life threatening lesions. Sixty nine-year old, multiparous, postmenopausal patient complained of intermittent vaginal hemorrhage for 4 years. Serum beta-HCG level of the patient who had no history of uterine curettage or pelvic operation was normal. Noninvasive diagnosis of arteriovenous malformations with congenital or acquired etiology can be made by color Doppler ultrasonography and MRI.
