Abstract

Placenta percreta is a rare complication of pregnancy and delivery and carries grievous consequences to the mother. It occurs mostly in the third trimester and presents with severe postpartum haemorrhage and placenta retention. Several types (accreta, increta, percreta) exist depending on the degree of myometrial involvement. It is rare in the second trimester of pregnancy. The presence of a uterine scar remains a major risk factor. We present a case of placenta percreta occurring in the second trimester.
