All Is Well That Ends Well in MTP

Abstract

This is an important and worthwhile case to write about because it demonstrates an unusual complication of surgical termination of pregnancy captured and shown here on direct high-quality hysteroscopic video, adding evidence to the light weight of literature that recognises an association between instrumentation of the uterine cavity and acquired arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). It highlights that reserving an index of suspicion for AVM of the uterus is very important, because through treatment such women can be relieved of the devastating physical, psychological, emotional and material impacts on their quality of life that may otherwise go undiagnosed for longer. It also exhibits the use of arterial embolisation in a young lady and follow-up of such patients may impart information about the effects of such treatments on future fertility.
