Abstract
Background:
Cervical prolapse of myomas following uterine artery embolization is an infrequently reported occurrence.
Case:
A 40-year-old woman with a history of three prior abdominal myomectomies underwent uterine artery embolization for severe menorrhagia due to myomas. Two weeks later a large cervical myoma prolapsed, requiring an abdominal hysterectomy.
Conclusion:
Cervical myomas should be considered a relative contraindication to uterine artery embolization.
