Sumario:Placenta percreta is the most severe and least common form of placental insertion abnormalities. The increasing frequency of C-Section deliveries has led to more of these abnormalities. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have a key role in diagnosing these abnormal adherences since it shows best transmural extension of the placental tissue. We report a case of a woman with a previous cesarean delivery who had been diagnosed with a placenta preavia on ultrasound and a suspicion of transmural extension with her MRI later showing a placenta percreta.
