Placenta percreta in early pregnancy is rare and has been documented in only a few cases. We report on a patient with abdominal pain in week 10 of pregnancy. Sonography revealed a defective embryonic development and the absence of a border line between trophoblast and myometrium, as well as invasive growth in the region of isthmocervical transition, so curettage was performed. Heavy bleeding at...

Placenta accreta and placenta percreta are rare causes of serious obstetric hemorrhage. Here we report an undiagnosed case of placenta percreta presenting to the emergency department with shock in the third trimester of pregnancy. Emergency laparotomy with caesarean hysterectomy and blood transfusion are the key steps in successful management. North Bengal Medical College, Sushrutanagar, Darjee...

Placenta percreta is a rare but serious complication of pregnancy, and is rarely diagnosed in the second trimester of pregnancy. We report a very rare case of placenta percreta accompanied by spontaneous uterine rupture at 25-weeks of gestation. A 30-year-old woman with severe abdominal pain was admitted to our hospital at 25 weeks of gestation. A laparotomy was immediately performed because of...

We report a case of placenta percreta diagnosed by ultrasound and color doppler image at the fourteenth week of gestation. Initial approach was a trial of IM methotrexate followed by total hysterectomy, during which was observed a rupture of the uterus with the adherence of the placenta to the posterior region of the bladder. We also present a literature review on the incidence of placenta perc...

Placenta percreta causing second trimester, spontaneous uterine rupture in non high risk women is less frequent and fewer cases have been reported in the literature. We report a case of uterine rupture in second trimester of pregnancy due to placenta percreta with non specific symptoms in otherwise uncomplicated pregnancy without any high risk factors. This case report describes the case of you...

With increasing caesarean section rates during the past decades, a rising trend of placenta percreta is observed. Although rare, placenta percreta can present as acute abdomen due to haemoperitoneum during antepartum period. A 24 years old pregnant lady with two previous caesarean sections, presented in emergency at 12 weeks of gestation with syncope, acute abdominal pain and distension. Ultras...

Placenta percreta is a problem encountered with increasing frequency due to the rising rate of cesarean delivery. Conservative management of this condition is associated with decreased perioperative morbidity. When hysterectomy is necessary, a laparoscopic approach can provide additional benefits. We present the case of a woman with placenta percreta with bladder invasion who was undergoing co...

INTRODUCTION Placenta percreta is associated with maternal morbidity and mortality. A hysterectomy is often needed to control the bleeding in such cases. However, it has been advocated that placenta percreta be managed conservatively to avoid massive pelvic bleeding and to preserve the patient's fertility. Here, we present a case of placenta percreta diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging, and...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of morbidly adherent placenta has dramatically increased in the setting of the rising cesarean rate in the United States. Delayed surgical management of placenta accreta and its variants is emerging as methods that may significantly decrease bleeding and perioperative complications; however, optimal surgical approaches have not yet been determined. In this report, we p...
