The incidence of CSP is increasing worldwide. Uterine ateriovenous malformation （UA VM） is a rare gynecologic disease. Both of these diseases can cause severe vaginal bleeding and produce high morbidity rate. We describe a ease of UA VM induced by a CSP. The patient suffered intermittent vaginal bleeding after two dilatation and curettage （D＆C） one month before admission. The suspected diagnosis of CSP and UA VM were made after using transvaginal ultra- sound with color Doppler and human chorionic gonadotropin （hCG） examination. Resection of the involved area including the cesarean scar and UA VM by laparotomy was performed successfully and the diagnosis was confirmed by the last pathologic result.展开更多

They are mainly manifested by hemorrhages that can be life-threatening. Their diagnosis is based mainly on ultrasound coupled with Doppler flow, as well as pelvic magnetic resonance imaging and angiography. In the absence of a consensus, and based on our experience, we discuss the place of hysteroscopy in the therapeutic strategy of UAVM. We reported 3 cases of UAVM, and we performed a review of the literature concerning the diagnosis and treatment of this pathology. We finally collected the advantages of the embolization-hysteroscopy sequence. In fact, the data suggest that hysteroscopy is a feasible and safe alternative treatment modality for UAVM. We believe that the resection of UAVM can be done under optimal conditions with a reduced risk of bleeding. Hysteroscopy would allow for optimal evaluation of the uterine cavity after treatment as well as the possibility of applying an anti-adhesive gel. In addition, the combination of hysteroscopy and embolization would require less healing time and shorter follow-up than embolization alone. It could also reduce the number of patients lost to follow-up.展开更多
