Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare but potentially life threatening condition with fewer than 100 cases reported in literature. With advent of Doppler ultrasonography many cases of uterine arteriovenous malformations have been diagnosed. We present a case of AVM uterus in 22 years old presented with pain abdomen and shock and trans abdominal ultrasound was done showing hemoperitonium. Exploratory laparotomy was done and hemostasis was controlled. Colour Doppler and angiography were used for diagnosis. Bilateral uterine arteries embolization was performed successfully.
