Placenta accreta located in the posterior wall of the uterus: a case report
Abstract
It is thought that abnormal invasive implantation of the placenta occur as a result of the defect came decidua basalis only in women who have a history of cesarean section previously. Massive obstetric hemorrhage has increased in placenta accreta. Despite the ultrasound, doopler ultrasound and magnetic resonance, in early pregnancy weeks the diagnosis of plecenta accreta is reduced. Therefore, the presence of life-threatening vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy we have to suspect from placenta accreta. We will publish here, the second trimester uterine placenta accreta cases showing the placement of the rear well. [Med-Science 2016; 5(4.000): 1033-6]

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 of the membranes (PROM).
Study Design Case report and review of the literature.
Results A 41-year-old female presented at 20 weeks of gestation with placenta previa and PROM. Ultrasonography revealed placenta accreta with multiple placental lacunae. She then developed massive hemorrhaging just prior to a planned termination of pregnancy. We performed a hysterectomy with the intent of preserving life because of the failure of the placenta to detach and blood loss totaling 4,500 mL.
Conclusion Previous studies suggest that second-trimester pregnancy terminations in cases of placenta previa which are not complicated with placenta accreta do not have a particularly high risk of hemorrhage. However, together with our case, the literature suggests that placenta previa complicated with placenta accreta presents a significant risk of hemorrhage both during delivery and intraoperatively. Further reports are needed to evaluate the most appropriate treatment options.
