A Case of Placenta Increta Presenting as Delayed Postabortal Hemorrhage / 대한산부인과학회지

ABSTRACT

Placenta increta is a life-threatening complication of pregnancy characterized by invasion of placenta villi into the underlying myometrium. Usually, presentation is in the early postpartum period with hemorrhage during difficult placental removal. Although placenta increta may complicate first and early second-trimester pregnancy loss, this lesion is rarely found, whose diagnosis can be very difficult during these trimester. We had experienced a case of placenta increta which was found about 14 days after dilatation and curettage (D and C) due to missed abortion at private obstetrics' clinic and report this with brief reviewed the literatures.
