Pelvic arteriovenous malformation : a case report

A 70-year-old male presented with intermittent macroscopic hematuria. There was no history of previous trauma or pelvic operation. At first, we were unable to clarify the origin of the hematuria, but 3D computed tomography revealed an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) consisting of multiple feeding vessels arising from the bilateral, especially right, internal iliac artery. Treatment with transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) with a combination of lipiodol and N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate twice was effective. He needs to be followed up carefully for recurrence of AVM.
