Abstract

Uterine artery aneurysm (UAA) is an uncommon complication of pregnancy. Its diagnosis before postpartum hemorrhage is rare. We report on a patient who presented with symptomatic ureteral obstruction secondary to UAA. The hydronephrosis was managed by ureteral stenting. The UAA was successfully embolized after a planned cesarean section delivery. UAA is a rare and clinically significant cause of hydronephrosis during pregnancy.
