A 29-year-old woman with partial placenta increta was treated by bilateral uterine artery embolization (UAE) for bleeding with hemorrhagic shock two months after delivery, resulting in permanent hemostasis. The patient underwent a total of three magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations—before UAE and four days and four months after UAE. At four months, MRI showed a fully regenerated uterus with preserved perfusion and complete resolution of residual placental tissue.

Intramural Fibroids

Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a type of noninvasive treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids. One of the complications of UAE is fibroid expulsion. Here, we report a case of a 45-year-old woman who underwent UAE for an intramural fibroid, which resulted in fibroid expulsion. To the best of our knowledge, there are only few reports of expulsion of intramural fibroids. The process of fibroid protrusion from the myometrium into the uterine cavity was depicted on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in this case. We discuss the risk factors and mechanisms of fibroid expulsion after UAE.

Intervention Procedure

<p>Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) has become most effective and minimally invasive alternative treatment over the past many years, especially for women with symptomatic fibroids for whom conservation of uterus is important. Here we are reporting a case of an eighteen year old, unmarried female who presented with pain in lower abdomen and pelvis, menorrhagia and she also noticed gradually increasing lump in pelvis and lower abdomen.</p><p>After clinical examination, patient was referred for radiological investigations, initially ultrasonography was performed which revealed, a large sized posterior wall uterine fibroid measuring approx. 19 x 10 x 18 cm and it was further confirmed on MRI with contrast study. UAE was carried out in order to relieve the symptoms, reduce the size of fibroid and at the same time preserve the uterus. The procedure was uneventful after follow-up for 3 months, there was partial regression in the size of fibroid.</p>
