In this article, we illustrate the ultrasound characteristics of paracervical vascular anomalies during pregnancy and the puerperium, focusing on the presence of voluminous venous varices along the course of the uterine vessels and on pseudoaneurysms of the uterine artery (UAP). These anomalies, one of venous and one of arterial origin, may share some common ultrasound features, but have completely different prognoses in pregnancy and different risk of rupture, so their differential diagnosis is crucial for management.

Abstract
In this article, we illustrate the ultrasound characteristics of paracervical vascular anomalies during pregnancy and the puerperium, focusing on the presence of voluminous venous varices along the course of the uterine vessels and on pseudoaneurysms of the uterine artery (UAP). These anomalies, one of venous and one of arterial origin, may share some common ultrasound features, but have completely different prognoses in pregnancy and different risk of rupture, so their differential diagnosis is crucial for management.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
