ABSTRACT
Uterine arterio-venous malformation is one of the differentials of dysfunctional uterine bleeding that can result in life-threatening emergency with sudden, unexpected massive vaginal bleeding.

High index of suspicion is required to make a timely diagnosis for appropriate management and to avoid maternal morbidity and mortality.
