Abstract

Successful nonsurgical therapy of uterine arteriovenous malformations is rare, with most cases being diagnosed at hysterectomy. A uterine arteriovenous malformation was diagnosed by Doppler ultrasound, and its resolution after 1 week of treatment with methylergonovine maleate was observed. Although there are case reports regarding treatment of uterine arteriovenous malformations by embolization performed by interventional radiology, to our knowledge, the noninvasive long-term management of a uterine arteriovenous malformation has not been reported.
