Abstract

A 21-year-old nulliparous patient presented with heavy vaginal bleeding following medical termination of pregnancy. She dropped her haemoglobin level quickly. An MRI scan showed the presence of serpiginous vessels within the myometrium. The patient was successfully treated by arterial embolisation.
