OBJECTIVE To examine maternal morbidity in primary surgical management of placenta accreta. DESIGN Retrospective case series. SETTING Quaternary perinatal referral center in Melbourne, Australia. POPULATION Clinically suspected and histologically confirmed cases of placenta accreta, increta and percreta. METHODS Women were identified from our hospital database coded for placenta accreta...

Objective: Abnormal placentation is a serious complication of pregnancy, and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. There has been recent debate regarding the deployment of occlusive balloons as an adjuvant to surgery to minimize blood loss in these patients. This article reviews the literature on the use of occlusive balloons for management of placenta accreta and outlines som...

OBJECTIVE: To describe pre- and post-methotrexate (MTX) therapy images from pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadopentetate dimeglumine contrast following chemotherapy for post-partum hemorrhage secondary to placenta increta. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A 28-year-old Caucasian female presented 4 weeks post-partum complaining of intermittent vaginal bleeding. She underwent dilatation and cur...

Placenta accreta occurs when the deciduas basal is that separates the placental villi from the myometrium is missing. Classification is divided in 3 grades based on histopathologic analysis consisting on: placenta accreta, increate and percent. Placenta accreta occurs when the chorionic villi of the placenta enters in contact with the myometrium. In placenta increta, the chorionic villi invade ...

The objective of the study was to describe the management of a first trimester vaginal bleeding caused by abnormal placentation. In this paper one cases of first trimester of pregnancy with sever vaginal bleeding reported who presented at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics in November 2012. A 38-yearold G3L2 (2*C/S) candidate curettage for the reason that she had molar pregnancy (GA=11...

INTRODUCTION Placenta accreta significantly contributes to maternal morbidity and mortality. We evaluated whether planned delivery and experienced, team-managed surgical intervention results in improved outcomes. We also examined whether risk factors differed for accreta, increta, and percreta and evaluated whether excess lower segment uterine vascularity correlates with disease severity. MET...

Placenta accreta is defined as an abnormal adherence of the placenta to the uterine wall owing to a faulty or an absent decidua basalis. Placenta accreta is further subdivided into placenta accreta vera, increta and percreta, depending on the level of invasion of the uterine wall and surrounding structures. Placenta percreta represents invasion to the serosa and/or other pelvic structures. We h...

We herein report three cases of preterm uterine ruptures. The etiology of ruptures was placenta accreta in various forms like; placenta increta and percreta. All cases presented with abdominal pain and vaginal discharge. Though uterine rupture secondary to adherent placentation had been observed in multiparous women with previous history of cesarean sections, myomectomy, dilatation and curettag...

Purpose: Placenta increta in early pregnancy is rare and has been documented in only few cases and is a complication of pregnancy that can be life threatening for both mother and fetus. Thus early diagnosis of this problem is very important. This problem is a result of inadequate development of the decidua. Case Presentation: A 26 years old woman (gravid 3, para 2) with history of cesarean sect...
