Placenta percreta resulting in incomplete spontaneous abortion in first trimester

ABSTRACT

Placenta percreta is a rare complication potentially fatal to fetus and the mother. We present here a 41-year-old female patient who underwent curettage for incomplete abortion at 6[th] week of pregnancy. She had persistent vaginal bleeding for 2 months after the curettage, for which she was treated with hysterectomy. Preoperative ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] made the diagnosis of placenta percreta. Postoperative pathological examination confirmed this diagnosis
