Spontaneous Uterine rupture is associated with massive intra-peritoneal bleed which can be fatal if not recognized. We report a case of 32 year old multigravida at 28 weeks of gestation with history of liver cysts, previous caesarean and uterine curettage, who presented with acute abdominal pain and tenderness; ultrasound revealed placenta percreta. CT abdomen showed haemoperitoneum. The patien...

A 35-year-old pregnant woman, with a history of 2 vaginal deliveries and 2 spontaneous abortions treated by dilatation and curettage, was admitted to the emergency department because of sudden severe abdominal pain; th...

Abnormal attachment of the placenta (Placenta accreta, increta, and percreta) is an uncommon but potentially lethal cause of maternal mortality from massive postpartum hemorrhage. A 33-yr-old woman, who had been diagnosed with a placenta previa, was referred at 30 weeks gestation. On ultrasound, a complete type of placenta previa and multiple intraplacental lacunae, suggestive of placenta accre...

It associated with severe obstetric haemorrhage often requires emergency hysterectomy, which one foremost causes maternal morbidity mortality. The vast these conditions are seen in women history previous c...

Objective: To assess the value of adding three-dimensional (3D) power Doppler (as a diagnostic technique) to grayscale in the prenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta. Material and Methods: One hundred pregnant women with persistent placenta previatotalis (after 28 weeks' gestation) were prospectively enrolled into this study. Gray-scale transabdominal ultrasound was performed to detect loss of t...
