摘要
Uterine artery embolization has emerged as an effective treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids. Nevertheless because of the uncertainty about the effects of UAE on fertility, women who still want to become pregnant are sometimes excluded from treatment. Pregnancy after UAE has been described in the published literature in the form of case reports, case series and retrospective cohort studies. We present an interesting case of a successful spontaneous pregnancy and delivery in a 42 year old woman, who was diagnosed to have fibroids and endometriosis. She had a myomectomy followed by two procedures of UAE for recurrent fibroids and was treated for extensive endometriosis. (C) 2011 Middle East Fertility Society.
