Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Uterine fibroid necrosis and infection is a rare but potentially serious event following uterine artery embolization (UAE). We describe a case of surgical removal of an infected necrotic uterine fibroid.
CASE: A 31-year-old Jehovah's Witness with severe anemia presented with sepsis following UAE. The uterus was preserved by performing transvaginal surgical removal. Final pathology demonstrated Escherichia Coli infection of the necrotic fibroid. The patient improved postoperatively.
CONCLUSION: Surgical removal of an infected necrotic fibroid may be a preferred option for women wishing to avoid hysterectomy following UAE. Appropriate case selection and optimization of hemoglobin concentration before UAE is important to minimize complications.
