Advanced cervical cancer can lead to life-threatening vaginal bleeding. Emergency uterine artery embolization (UAE) has been successfully used in such cases to achieve hemostasis. Our case demonstrates the unusual emergency use of this procedure to cease heavy hemorrhage, which led to hematometra, uterine rupture and hemoperitoneum in a patient with a large tumor in the cervical region. Vaginal bleeding was minimal in this case. The emergency UAE controlled the bleeding, and the patient was scheduled for laparotomy soon after the procedure, where a supracervical hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and the removal of blood and blood clots was performed. Since the tumor primarily involved the parametria, a sample was taken for histopathology examination with the following result: squamocellular HPV-associated cervical carcinoma. The postoperative management of the patient consisted of combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy, with no complications related to the UAE. Four months after the procedure the patient is reasonably well. Urgent surgery was not the optimal decision because of the alteration of the pelvic anatomy by the tumor, and thus the UAE enabled us to manage this life-threatening condition quickly, allowing us to best prepare the patient for further therapeutic modalities.
