Abstract

Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is gaining popularity as a treatment modality in patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids who do not desire fertility. Complications of this procedure can be serious and disabling. A 50-year-old woman presented with stage II uterovaginal prolapse after UAE for symptomatic uterine fibroids. Pelvic organ prolapse developed 16 months after the initial procedure. Surgical correction was performed. This is the first case report of pelvic organ prolapse after UAE. Normal prior gynecological examinations, and absence of pelvic pressure symptoms, indicate that pelvic organ prolapse had occurred subsequent to UAE.
