Relevance: Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare and potentially life-threatening pathology of the arterial system. It can occur due to the damage to tissues during complicated vaginal delivery or cesarean section, uterine surgery, adnexal surgery (myomectomy, hysterectomy, metroplasty, cervicoplasty, perforation of the uterus during curettage or during diagnostic manipulations, removal of various tumors in the pelvic area, and others). This may be a rare cause of delayed postpartum hemorrhage in 3–6 cases per 1000 births.

Case report: A 25-year-old primigravida underwent an emergency cesarean section in the lower uterine segment due to an acute intrauterine fetal hypoxia at 40–41 weeks gestation. On the 4th day after surgery, she complained of an increase in body temperature to 37.5°C, nagging pains in the left iliac region. Doppler ultrasound imaging of the pelvic area to the left of the uterus revealed a pathological vascular formation in the parametrium. An emergency angiography of the pelvic vessels was performed, it was followed by embolization with two coils of the branches of the uterine artery feeding the pseudoaneurysm. Seven years after the operative delivery and embolization, the patient became pregnant and had a planned cesarean section at 40 weeks gestation without complications.

Conclusion: The first diagnostic method in an emergency situation is Doppler sonography. The method of choice in the treatment of uterine artery pseudoaneurysm is embolization of the feeding artery (provided there are conditions for such an operation).
