As the development of
Doppler ultrasonography, many cases of uterine
arteriovenous malformation (AVM) have beed diagnosed. But there is no case of cervical AVM in pregnant
uterus. We present a 33-year-old
pregnant woman who was diagnosed with AVM of the
uterine cervix during the
midtrimester.
Color Doppler sonography and
magnetic resonance image were used for
diagnosis. We performed
Cesarean section because of the
risk of massive
bleeding from the cervical AVM at 34 weeks'
gestation. This is the first case of cervical AVM during
pregnancy with a successful outcome and an uneventful
postpartum course.
