Abstract
Rupture of a uterine artery pseudo-aneurysm during pregnancy is a rare condition with potential life-threatening complications, and management should take into account the fetal impact of the therapeutic choice. We report the case of a 2Â cm left uterine artery pseudo-aneurysm revealed by pelvic pain, in a 30-year-old pregnant woman at 26+0Â weeks of gestation (WG). Diagnosis was suspected at ultrasound scan, and confirmed with Magnetic Resonance angiography that showed signs of pre-rupture. An emergency selective embolization attempted in utero allowed the complete exclusion of the aneurysmal sac. The patient gave birth one month later to a girl at 31+1Â WG, initially managed by neonatologists, who is currently in good health.
