Placenta accreta in the first trimester: A case report

Clin Case Rep. 2021 Sep 7;9(9):e04615. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.4615. eCollection 2021 Sep.

Abstract

Placenta accreta is a severe complication of pregnancy normally diagnosed during the second trimester. Early detection could reduce the risk of hemorrhage during abortion or miscarriage; however, guidelines on first-trimester diagnosis are lacking. We describe a case of placenta accreta during the first trimester with its sonographic and histological features.

Keywords: abortion; first‐trimester; hemorrhage; miscarriage; placenta accreta.
