ABSTRACT
Placenta accreta is a rare complication of pregnancy with high rates of maternal morbidity and mortality. Although the incidence of placenta accreta was rare in the past, it is sharply rising as a result of the dramatic increases in the cesarean section rate. Hysterectomy is the most effective way to manage the placenta accreta in the majority of cases. While in many situations hysterectomy will remain appropriate, there are other management options available involving conservative approaches. In this article, we report our experience of a successful conservative treatment using methotrexate and misoprostol to a patient in whom the whole placenta was not detachable from the uterus due to placenta increta.
