Placenta Previa Percreta: A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
The placenta percreta is defined by an abnormal invasion of the placenta in the myometrium, the serosa or even the neighboring organs. Its incidence hes steadily increased with the evolution of the caesarean section rate. This pathology poses a significant risk of morbidity and maternal mortality 7%. Prenatal screening is very important for high-risk patients. Doppler-coupled ultrasound and MRI are the key to prenatal screening. For many years hysterectomy was the classic treatment for placenta acreta. The current trend is conservative treatment aimed at preserving fertility and preventing vital bleeding risk by ensuring better bladder or digestive functional prognosis. We report the case of a patient treated for placenta previa percreta discovered prenatally and who underwent a total hysterectomy at a caesarean section programmed at 36SA.
