Pelvic arteriovenous malformation presenting as bloating and abdominal
distension: a case report and literature review
Abstract
Pelvic arteriovenous malformations (pAVMs) are rare lesions that
sometimes pose diagnostic challenges. We report on a 50-year-old woman
with a pAVM presenting with only abdominal distension and bloating. The
diagnostic tool was color Doppler transvaginal ultrasonography. Surgical
excision of the AVM was performed, and there was no subsequent
recurrence.
