case_images: A venous-type flow in the intramural venous plexus, a turbulent aspect in the fistula, and a high-velocity low-resistance flow in the artery branch were observed in patients with AVM (Figure 1). A mass measuring 22 x 19 mm in size with abundant blood flow in the myometrium was shown on Doppler imaging as a mosaic color pattern (Figures 1 and 2).
