Color Doppler ultrasonography is a crucial tool for the prompt and accurate diagnosis of uterine artery pseudoaneurysm in cases of unexplained late post-partum hemorrhage.
May aid UAP diagnosis in late postpartum hemorrhage; hypothesis-generating from case reports and requires prospective validation.
Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm (UAP) rupture should be considered in case of late genital bleeding without obvious cause and lead to perform a sonographic examination with Doppler-scan. We report two cases of late post-partum hemorrhage from UAP diagnosed as such using color Doppler US. In order to avert life-threatening bleeding, prompt and accurate diagnosis should be made using color Doppler US since the latter plays a significant role in demonstrating the vascular nature of this anechoic uterine lesion.
