Popis: Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare is a rare cause of abnormal uterine bleeding, which may lead to profuse uterine bleeding. We present the case of a 23-year-old woman with an AVM that was successfully managed by laparoscopic ligation of the internal iliac arteries. This procedure did not adversely affect the fertility of the patient and she became pregnant 6 months after the procedure and gave birth by cesarean section at 38 weeks. She later gave birth by cesarean section 2 more times.It is an effective alternative to uterine artery embolization (UAE) in the management of uterine AVM.
