Earliest Presentation of Placenta Accreta – a Case Report.
Pak J Med Health Sci Jan ;12(1):421-2.

Placenta accreta is a serious complication of placenta previa leading to massive obstetric hemorrhage . Prenatal diagnosis of adherent placenta is very important as it significantly affects the maternal and perinatal mortality. It is diagnosed in the prenatal period with ultrasound and more recently by magnetic resonance imaging. When faced with undiagnosed placenta accreta at the time of cesarean section, obstetrical hysterectomy is a lifesaving option. We present an undiagnosed case of placenta accreta , which presented as early as at 15 weeks of gestational age in a patient with previous three cesarean sections.
