Placenta Previa et Percreta: A Potentially Life-Threatening Condition
Placenta percreta occurs in about 5% of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) and causes high maternal and fetal peripartum morbidity/mortality. A 34-year-old multiparous 4G2P (1xcesarean section (CS)) was admitted to hospital at the 34th week of gestation. Transvaginal ultrasound revealed a placenta prev...

description | Placenta percreta occurs in about 5% of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) and causes high maternal and fetal peripartum morbidity/mortality. A 34-year-old multiparous 4G2P (1xcesarean section (CS)) was admitted to hospital at the 34th week of gestation. Transvaginal ultrasound revealed a placenta previa totalis et percreta with a small tissue layer towards the bladder. Ultrasound was crucial for further planning. An interdisciplinary setting was established based on this life-threatening diagnosis. Due to the onset of labor one day later, a CS was performed. Intraoperatively, the suspicion was confirmed of a placenta previa et percreta with CS scar infiltration. Due to the life-threatening bleeding risk, simultaneous subtotal hysterectomy was needed. The diagnosis was confirmed histologically. The higher the number of previous CS, the higher the PASrate. Placenta percreta is the most severe form of this, characterized by placental invasion through the entirety of the myometrium and possibly into extrauterine tissues. This case demonstrates the great importance of prenatal diagnosis with the realization of dimensions of this very rare finding, especially with an increasing CS rate and other associated complications. Due to the close interdisciplinary cooperation of the prenatal diagnosticians, obstetricians, and anesthesiologists with optimal care in a specialized center, the otherwise high morbidity/mortality can be minimized. |
