Abstract
Uterine arteriovenous malformations are possible causes of persistent metrorrhagia, in particular in patients with a history of abortion and trophoblast diseases. We here report the diagnostic and therapeutic features of two patients with uterine arteriovenous malformations complicating post-abortion in the Maternity Ward of the University Hospital of Pointe-a-Pitre in Guadeloupe. Patients had metrorrhagias after abortion with curettage. Arteriovenous malformation was suspected based on ultrasound combined with Doppler. Arteriography confirmed the diagnosis and allowed, in the same time, for conservative treatment by arterial embolization. No complication was reported. The lack of knowledge about uterine arteriovenous malformations can lead to deleterious consequences ranging from haemostatic hysterectomy due to cataclysmic hemorrhage to death.
