A case of uterine pseudoaneurysm combined with gestational trophoblastic disease in a 30-year-old woman

Abstract

Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare disease and it can be diagnosed using conventional doppler ultrasongraphy. Damaged uterine arteries from cesarean section, myomectomy, dilatation & curettage, etc. are known as causes of the disease. Massive bleeding in the rupture can cause fatal result. We observed an increase in β-hCG and uterine artery pseudoaneurysm a year after the performance of dilatation & curettage for hydatidiform mole and treated it with arterial embolization and chemotherapy. We report the case and give a brief review of the literature.
