Title : Focal placenta accreta in a congenitally malformed uterus: A case report
Abstract:
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.
Audience Take Away:
- Obstetricians and gynecologists can gain insights into the management of placenta accreta in patients with unique uterine anatomies, such as bicornuate uterus with a history of septum resection.
- Obstetricians and gynecologists can enhance their clinical decision-making skills by understanding the challenges and considerations in managing placenta accreta, especially in patients with complex uterine anatomy and surgical history.
- This case report provides valuable clinical insights into the management of placenta accreta in patients with unique uterine anatomies, which could serve as a basis for further research in obstetrics and gynecology.
- While not directly applicable to design work, this case report offers practical solutions and insights into the surgical management of placenta accreta, which could inform healthcare protocols and guidelines for managing high-risk pregnancies.
- While not directly related to design accuracy, this case report provides new information and clinical insights into the management of placenta accreta in patients with unique uterine anatomies, which could inform future clinical protocols and guidelines.
