ABSTRACT
Adenomyosis is frequent, mostly asymptomatic. A hypertrophy of the smooth muscular cells around ectopic endometrial glands might induce a compressive syndrome. We report the case of an embolization of a voluminous adenomyosic uterus which has triggered venous iliac's compression in patient refusing surgery. This treatment was efficient in reduction of uterin volume, without recurrence after three years. MR imaging is the exam of choice particularly when diagnosis is still uncertain and allows a non-invasive and good evaluation, and follow-up. Embolization is not actually recommended. But, it appears to be efficient, relatively safe and contributes to the conservation of fertility.
