BACKGROUND Abnormally invasive placenta (AIP) or placenta accreta (PA) is considered numerous adverse maternal and fetal-neonatal complications. There has been no detailed study to characterize the prevalence of AIP among deliveries in mainland China. OBJECTIVES We aimed to fill this gap and obtained overall and regional estimates of AIP prevalence via a systematic review and meta-analysis. ...

Aim: To determine the fetomaternal outcome in morbidly adherent placenta Study design: Cross-sectional study. Place and duration of study: Department Obstetrics & Gynecology, Liaquat University Hospital Hyderabad from 1st January 2022 to 30th June 2022. Methodology: Forty five females were enrolled. The consent was taken every relevant patient having low lying with previous scar/surgery fol...

We report a case of postpartum hemorrhage due to adherent placenta. A 28 year old primiparous woman who underwent manual removal of placenta for primary postpartum haemorrhage soon after delivery was referred to our Institute on her third postnatal day because of persistent tachycardia and low grade fever. Placenta accreta was suspected on initial ultrasonographic examination. MRI examination c...

Morbidly adherent placentation (MAP) is a condition in which the placenta is abnormally attached to the uterine myometrium. MAP is a complication of pregnancy that can cause significant morbidity to the mother and fetus and therefore early diagnosis is crucial in its management and prevention of adverse outcomes. Ultrasonography remains the primary diagnostic tool for MAP, with magnetic resonan...

Context: Once a rare occurrence, MAP is becoming an increasing threat to maternal lives. Aims: To summarize our experience in the management of patients with morbidly adherent placenta. Introduction: MAP is a potentially life threatening hemorrhagic condition responsible for 7% 10% maternal mortality. Settings and Design: Tertiary care center. Methods and Material: Retrospective study in which ...

Abnormally invasive placentation is becoming more common with a recent increase in cesarean sections and maternal age, among other risk factors. Ultrasonography is the first line-imaging, but it can be difficult to diagnose when limiting factors are present. Failure to recognize this serious placental abnormality precludes us from making the appropriate plan for the delivery and consequently ca...
