A Case Report of a Placenta Percreta Occurred at the Site ofan Old Perforation Scar at the Uterine Fundus

Abstract

Abstract:The incidence of morbidly adhered placenta (MAP) has increased over the last 20 years due to the rising rate of caesarean sections [1]. This is estimated to be 1 in 533 pregnancies [1]. MAP usually occurs in women who have a placenta previa in the current pregnancy, with previous one or more caesarean sections. Placenta percreta invades the full thickness of the myometrium. We have reported a case of placenta percreta, with no previous caesarean section, which developed at the site of an old perforation scar in the uterine fundus.The incidence of morbidly adhered placenta (MAP) has increased over the last 20 years due to the rising rate of caesarean sections [1].
