Abstract:

The placenta accreta spectrum, also known as morbidly adherent placenta, refers to a wide range of pathologic placental adherence, including increta, percreta, and acreta.. Placenta increta is characterized as an aberrant trophoblast invasion in which part or all of the placenta invades the myometrium. Placenta increta during second trimester of pregnancy is uncommon. During or after pregnancy, the majority of people with placenta increta experience vaginal bleeding. [1] This report presents a case of 35 yr old female presented to our hospital with profuse vaginal bleeding since 10 days before which she had spontaneous abortion at 4 months of gestational age followed by D and C in view of incomplete abortion 14 days before. Hysterectomy specimen was sent to the histopathology section. Histopathological examination of the specimen showed features which are suggestive of Placenta Increta. We present an uncommon case with short review of literature.
