Abstract

Pseudoaneurism of the uterine artery is uncommon and is usually associated with pregnancy or surgical trauma. Diagnosis is based on both Doppler sonography and arteriography. We report a case of pseudoaneurysm of the uterine artery associated with a leiomyoma without prior surgery or pregnancy. Treatment, which consisted on laparotomy, allowed avoiding rupture and confirmed diagnosis.
