Acquired Arteriovenous Malformation with Scar Pregnancy; an Insoluble Dilemma of Clinicians! | Chapter 5 | Current Practice in Medical Science Vol. 3

One in every 2,000 pregnancies is said to result in a scar pregnancy. Scar pregnancy had a lower risk of arteriovenous malformation (AVM). If these conditions are not identified early enough, the patients may face consequences that might be fatal. AVM with scar pregnancy is frequently misdiagnosed, and the treating physician may face a diagnostic conundrum. In managing these circumstances, it typically results in delays. Even harder to identify are miscarriages accompanied with scar pregnancies and AVM. In a woman who had previously undergone a Caesarean section for placenta previa, a case of acquired arteriovenous malformation with scar pregnancy is given. In spite of a negative pregnancy test, the patient in this case presented with severe vaginal bleeding four months after being diagnosed.
