Sumario:Placenta accreta is defined as an abnormal trophoblast invasion of part or all of the placenta into the myometrium of the uterine wall. It is a well-known cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Here, we present a unique case of focal placenta accreta due to a bicornuate uterus and a history of septum resection. We also discuss its management and outcome. The patient underwent a classical cesarean section and reinforcement of the anterior and posterior uterine wall. The patient had a history of surgery for correction of uterine malformation, which may have resulted in an abnormal adherence of the placenta.
