Abstrakt: We report a case of uterine arteriovenous malformation in an early adolescent who presented with heavy vaginal bleeding 2months after termination of pregnancy with copper intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) insertion. The patient was admitted and had medical treatment, including blood transfusion and subsequently transcatheter embolisation of the arteriovenous malformation to control her bleeding. The IUCD was left in situ. Her symptoms completely resolved by 4 months post-procedure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
