Placenta percreta is a condition where chorionic villi penetrate the entire myometrium, extending beyond uterine serosa. Here, we present an interesting case of placenta percreta in a 32-year-old lady with a previous history of the lower segment cesarean section. Initial ultrasonography had revealed oligohydramnios and an anterior low lying placenta with myometrial invasion, suggestive of placenta increta. Subsequently, a pre-operative magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated further invasion of the uterine serosa and bladder dome involvement which confirmed placenta percreta.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
