Abstract

We report on a patient who had a pseudoaneurysm arising from the left uterine artery after surgical excision of deep endometriosis. The diagnosis was based on contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography angiography. Transfemoral selective catheterization and embolization of the left uterine artery determined a quick improvement of the symptoms.
