Uterine arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare. They most often occur after endo-uterine trauma or, more rarely, are congenital. When they are symptomatic, they can cause recurrent and massive uterine hemorrhage. Diagnosis is made based on pelvic doppler ultrasound, which enables the suspicion of a lesion. Angiography is the reference examination and allows concomitant embolization. We report a new case of acquired arteriovenous malformation revealed by postpartum fever. The diagnosis was suspected by pelvic ultrasound with Doppler. It was confirmed by angioscan in the absence of emergency arteriography. The outcome was favourable after treatment with arterial embolisation.
