Background. Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rather rare condition that can cause life-threatening obstetric hemorrhage. AVMs are classified as congenital and acquired. Acquired uterine AVMs result from previous uterine operations (diagnostic or therapeutic curettages, cesarean section, myomectomy, etc.) or myometrial morphological changes (adenomyosis, metroendometritis, trophoblast diseases, etc.). In recent years, the world has seen a substantial increase in the frequency of cesarean section; in parallel, there have been increasingly more publications on the detection rates of uterine AVM.
Case report. The paper describes a case of maternal mortality from fulminant massive obstetric hemorrhage in the second trimester of pregnancy in the presence of uterine AVM and placenta increta.
Conclusion. The data obtained from the analysis of the case may be useful in predicting this pregnancy complication in risk group patients.

Keywords
