Background: Placenta accreta is one of the known causes of maternal mortality and morbidity. If diagnosed before delivery, appropriate actions can be taken. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of scaling combination of risk factors in predicting placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 120 pregnant women with two criteria and more of placenta previ...

Placenta accreta during the first trimester of pregnancy is rare. Only a few cases of placenta accreta manifesting as a uterine mass have been published. Most patients with placenta accreta present with vaginal bleeding during or after pregnancy. This report describes a patient with placenta accreta that caused vaginal bleeding three years after a first trimester abortion. The patient had regul...

The incidence of placenta accreta and maternal death are substantially increased due to the increased rate cesarean section [1,2]. The incidence of placenta accreta reported approximately 0.8 to 3 per 1000 deliveries. Maternal mortality related to placenta accreta and its complications occurs approximately as high as 6-7% [3]. Placenta accreta is the most common cause for emergency postpartum h...

Placenta accreta is a potentially life-threatening obstetric condition that requires a multidisciplinary approach to management. The incidence of placenta accreta has increased and seems to parallel the increasing cesarean delivery rate. Women at greatest risk of placenta accreta are those who have myometrial damage caused by a previous cesarean delivery with either an anterior or posterior pla...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Placenta accreta is one of the leading causes of peripartum hemorrhage. The goal of this article is to review anesthetic management of parturients with placenta accreta and to examine a modern approach to massive peripartum hemorrhage. RECENT FINDINGS The incidence of placenta accreta is rising in parallel with the increased rate of cesarean delivery. If accreta is diagnosed...

BACKGROUND Placenta accreta/increta/percreta is associated with major pregnancy complications and is thought to be becoming more common. The aims of this study were to estimate the incidence of placenta accreta/increta/percreta in the UK and to investigate and quantify the associated risk factors. METHODS A national case-control study using the UK Obstetric Surveillance System was undertaken,...

Objective Concurrent placenta previa and placenta accreta increase the risk of massive obstetric hemorrhage. Despite extensive research on the management of placenta previa (including placenta accreta, increta, and percreta), the number and quality of previous studies are limited. We present a case of placenta accreta requiring an induced second-trimester abortion because of premature rupture o...

background: placenta accreta is a rare obstetrical condition that mainly occurs in the third trimester leading to life-threatening complications. hereby, a case of uterine rupture due to placenta accreta occuring in the second trimester is presented. case presentation: a forty-year old patient who conceived after in vitro fertilization treatment (oocyte donation and embryo transfer) presented i...

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 ...
