Arteriovenous malformation of the female pelvis. Clinical case

Vascular malformations are quite rare but can occur anywhere in the human body, and when affecting the female pelvis, they present a unique pattern. A thorough medical history and necessary diagnostic methods enable the correct diagnosis and the initiation of optimal treatment. Arteriovenous malformations usually require embolization. The choice between surgical intervention or medical treatment is determined within a multidisciplinary approach to patient care.
