Abstract
Introduction:
Uterine arteriovenous malformations are very rare and potentially life-threatening. They can present with menorrhagia, postpartum bleeding, postmenopausal bleeding, an asymptomatic mass, or congestive heart failure.
Case report:
We present a 37-year-old woman with massive uterine bleeding that started abruptly 3 weeks after D and C and was found to be due to arteriovenous malformations.
