One Case of Placenta Previa Percreta with Bladder Invasion - One Case Report -

Abstract

Placenta previa percreta is an uncommon and life threatening complication of pregnancy due to massive hemorrhage. And, the direct invasion of placenta to adjacent organ and/or the difficulty of surgery may raise maternal morbidity. To decrease the maternal mortality and morbidity, antepartum diagnosis and proper management is important to prevent catastrophic bleeding and the injury of adjacent organ. We experienced a case of placenta previa percreta at 38weeks of gestational age. Here, we present the case with brief review of literature.
