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>

Uterine artery embolization (UAE)-assisted induction of labor is an alternative method of managing pregnant women with complete placenta previa (CPP). Sepsis secondary to UAE, although rare, is a serious complication. We herein present a case of severe sepsis following UAE-assisted termination of a pregnancy at 27 gestational weeks in a woman with CPP. The woman developed a high-grade fever and elevated inflammatory indices following UAE. She did not recover until the infected tissue was removed by emergency cesarean section. This case suggests that the increasing use of UAE for termination of pregnancy in women with CPP requires awareness regarding the possibility of serious sepsis associated with this procedure.
