Abstract EN
Uterine vascular abnormalities and pseudoaneurysm are rare but could cause serious delayed postpartum hemorrhage.
Bleeding is usually recurrent and may be severe and occasionally potentially life-threatening.
We present the first diagnosed case reported from Bahrain.
The patient was 23 years old, para 1, abortion 0, had recurrent postpartum hemorrhage following cesarean section caused by a traumatic pseudoaneurysm which was treated with hysterectomy.
The treatment of choice is uterine artery embolization if diagnosed early and this method is particularly helpful to preserve the reproductive function in women.
