Placenta increta presenting with threatened miscarriage during the first trimester in rhesus-negative mother: a case report

Abstract Background Placenta accreta is known to be associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality—primarily due to intractable bleeding during abortion or delivery at any level of gestation. The complications could be reduced if placenta accreta is suspected in a patient with a history of previous cesarean delivery and the gestational sac/placenta is located at the lower part of the uterus. Then, a proper management plan can be instituted, and complications can be reduced. The diagnosis of placenta accreta in the first trimester of pregnancy is considered uncommon. Case presentation A 34-year-old Malay, gravida 4, para 3, rhesus-negative woman was referred from a private hospital at 13 weeks owing to accreta suspicion for further management. She has a history of three previous lower-segment cesarean sections. She also had per vaginal bleeding in the early first trimester, which is considered to indicate threatened miscarriage. Transabdominal ultrasound revealed features consistent with placenta accreta spectrum. She was counseled for open laparotomy and hysterectomy because of potential major complication if she continued with the pregnancy. Histopathological examination revealed placenta increta. Conclusion A high index of suspicion of placenta previa accreta must be in practice in a patient with a history of previous cesarean deliveries and low-lying placenta upon ultrasound examination during early gestation.

The presence of placenta previa may be associated with placenta accreta[1]. Maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality from placenta previa accreta are considerable and are associated with high demands on health resources. With the rising incidence of caesarean sections combined with increasing maternal age, the number of cases of placenta praevia and its complications, including placenta accreta, will continue to increase[2]. Here, we present a case of placenta previa totalis percreta in previous cesarean section twice. In this case, patient with placenta previa totalis-percreta we diagnosed and prepared proper management with the involvement of multidisciplinary team. We reduced blood loss by performing total abdominal hysterectomy immediately after delivered the baby and the postoperative course was uneventful.Keywords: Cesarean Section-Hysterectomy, placenta accreta, placenta percreta, placenta previa

The placenta accreta designates an abnormality of the placental insertion characterized, on the anatomopathological level, by an absence of deciduous deciduous between the placenta and the myometrium. This insertion anomaly may interest all or only part of the placenta. We distinguish within this terminology the terms of - placenta accreta when the placenta is simply attached to the Myometrium. - placenta increta when the placenta invades the myometrium. - placenta percreta when the placenta enters the serosa uterine, or even the neighboring organs (bladder, peritoneum, etc.) [1]. Placentas accretas are a high-risk situation for severe postpartum hemorrhage and its inherent complications such as disseminated intravascular coagulation, hemostasis hysterectomy, surgical wounds to the ureters, bladder, multiple organ failure, or even maternal death, particularly in the case of placenta percreta [2,3]. Risk factors for placenta percreta include a history of cesarean, uterine curettage or manual removal of placenta, presence of placenta previa, endometriosis, high parity and advanced maternal age [4]. We report the case of a 30-year-old woman, IIGIIP, who had a previous cesarean section during her first pregnancy and who had a placenta percreta and who underwent hysterectomy without cystectomy and without ligation of the hypogastric arteries.

Objective: We aimed to compare the effects of placenta previa (PP) and placenta accreta (PA) on the short-term maternal morbidity alone and together. Methods: The data of the patients who were diagnosed with PP, PA or placenta previa accreta (PPA) which includes both of them between January 2010 and December 2018 in a tertiary reference center were analyzed retrospectively. The records of the patients were compared between 3 groups for age, gravida, parity, week of gestation, previous cesarean section, history of curettage and myomectomy, gestational complications, placental location, hospitalization at hospital and intensive care unit, decreased level of hemoglobin, blood product transfusions, procedures to control bleeding and complications. Results: Six out of 192 patients were excluded from the study as they delivered in other hospitals, and the data of 186 patients were analyzed. There were 141 (75.8%) patients with PP only, 9 (4.8%) patients with PA only, and 36 (19.4%) patients with PPA. The erythrocyte transfusion was significantly higher in PPA patients than PP patients (p<0.001). The possibility for the transfusion of any blood product was lower in PP group than other groups. While the rate of hospitalization at intensive care unit was higher in PPA group, the number of hospitalization day at hospital was significantly lower in PP group than PA (p=0.042) and PPA (p<0.001) groups. Urinary complication was observed less in PP patients. The hysterectomy rate was higher in PPA patients with than PP and PA patients (p=0.004). Conclusion: The rates of maternal morbidity and hysterectomy increase when PP and PA are together compared to the cases where they are alone.

Abstract Objective: To explore the risk factors and pregnancy outcomes in women with a history of cesarean section complicated by placenta accreta.Methods: This retrospective study included clinical data from singleton mothers with a history of cesarean section in 11 public tertiary hospitals in 7 provinces of China between January 2017 and December 2017. According to the intraoperative findings or the pathologic diagnosis after delivery, the study population was divided into placenta accreta (PA) and non-PA groups. We compared the pregnancy outcomes between the 2 groups, used multivariate logistic regression to analyze the risk factors for placental accreta, and used receiver operating characteristic curves to evaluate the value of the risk factors.Results: For this study we included 11,074 pregnant women with a history of cesarean section; and of these, 869 cases were in the PA group and 10,205 cases were in the non-PA group. Compared with the non-PA group, the probability of postpartum hemorrhage, severe postpartum hemorrhage, diffuse intravascular coagulation, puerperal infection, intraoperative bladder injury, hysterectomy, and blood transfusion was significantly increased in the placenta accreta group (P<0.05)). At the same time, the rate of neonatal low-birth weight, the probability of neonatal comorbidities, and the rate of neonatal intensive care unit admission also increased significantly (P<0.05). Weight, parity, number of miscarriages, number of previous cesarean sections, history of premature rupture of membrane, previous cesarean-section transverse incisions, history of placenta previa, and the combination of prenatal hemorrhage and placenta previa were all independent risk factors for placenta accreta; while non-Han ethnicity was an independent protective factor for placenta accreta (P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.93 (95% CI=0.92-0.94); and the specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy rate were 0.87, 0.93, and 0.93, respectively.Conclusions: There was an increased risk of adverse outcomes in pregnancies complicated by placenta accreta in women with a history of cesarean section, and this required close clinical attention. Weight before pregnancy, parity, number of miscarriages, number of previous cesarean sections, Han ethnicity, history of premature rupture of membranes, past transverse incisions in cesarean sections, a history of placenta previa, prenatal hemorrhage, and placenta previa were independent risk factors for pregnancies complicated with placenta accreta in women with a history of cesarean section. These independent risk factors showed a high value in predicting the risk for placental accreta in pregnancies of women with a history of cesarean section.

Threatening Situation

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) refers to the range of pathologic adherence of the placenta, including placenta increta, placenta percreta, and placenta accreta. PAS disorder is a maternal and fetal life-threatening situation due to the high risk of intrapartum uncontrollable bleeding. The common described risk factors are the placenta previa and history of Caesarean section (CS) [1]. We herein report our experience with five patients referred to our department for suspected PAS. These patient were selected for targeted prepartum ultrasound assessment due to their history of multiple C-sections. PAS risk increase with the number of previous CS and could reach7% [2]. In Nicaragua , the rate of c-section in obstetrical practice is still high and approximating 40% in some centers. Uterine wall dehiscence result in locally defective decidualisation and abnormal placental adherence with important trophoblastic invasion in a subsequent pregnancy [3]. We still believe that this disorder is preventable if we “go back” a little to obstetrical good practices. Dramatic situations can be avoided by selecting suspected PAS on ultrasound or MRI to be referred. PAS is the commonest cause of intrapartum hysterectomy and must be managed always in specialized centers with multidisciplinary team approach.

Objective: To compare the outcome of two techniques for repair of distal penile hypospadias: Mathieu`s repair with and without stent. Study Design: Prospective observational descriptive study. Place and duration: Department of Paediatric Surgery, Mayo Hospital, Lahore from September 2000 to September 2002. Material and methods: Sixty boys were randomly assigned the two groups of thirty boys each. Detailed scrutiny of procedure done and analyses of the clinical outcome made prospectively. Results: A total of sixty patients were treated in two separate groups. All the boys had Mathieu`s repair done for distal hypospadias. In group A stent/ indwelling catheter was used for 7-8 days while in group B no stent was used. Stratification was done using Chi square test. Median age was 4 years and most of them belonged to low socioeconomic class (61.6%). A high percentage (48.3% were born to mothers of age ranging from 30-40 years. Sixteen (26.66%) patients had a family history of hypospadias. Only twelve mothers (2 0%) gave a positive history of drug intake in first trimester. Sixteen (26.66%) patients had associated anomalies of undescended testis / inguinal hernia. Twenty four (40%) patients were brought because of the abnormal appearance of the child`s penis while their stream (21.66%) and dysuria (25%) were presenting complaints of two other major groups. Mathieu`s repair was done in all cases with group A. Thirty boys (50%) having a stent post operatively and the group B thirty boys (50%) were without stent. Total complications rate is 46.66% with group a showing eight cases (26.66%) and group B having twenty (66.66%) cases with compliec. Major complication in group B was urinary retention in eleven cases (36.66%) while no patient had retention in group A. overall twenty six (86.66%) in group A and twenty one (70%) in group B showed satisfactory results. Conclusion: Mathieu`s repair without stent has been advantage of shorter hospital stay but a fair proportion of patients (36.66%) having urinary retention calls for further studies on a larger scale.

Objective To assess and compare the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of placenta accreta in patients with placenta previa. Methods This retrospective cohort study included 37 women, and was conducted between January 2013 and October 2015; 16 out of the 37 women suffered from placenta accreta. Histopathology was considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of placenta accreta; in its absence, a description of the intraoperative findings was used. The associations among the variables were investigated using the Pearson chi-squared test and the Mann-Whitney U-test. Results The mean age of the patients was 31.8 ± 7.3 years, the mean number of pregnancies was 2.8 ± 1.1, the mean number of births was 1.4 ± 0.7, and the mean number of previous cesarean sections was 1.2 ± 0.8. Patients with placenta accreta had a higher frequency of history of cesarean section than those without it (63.6% versus 36.4% respectively; p < 0.001). The mean gestational age at birth among women diagnosed with placenta previa accreta was 35.4 ± 1.1 weeks. The mean birth weight was 2,635.9 ± 374.1 g. The sensitivity of the ultrasound was 87.5%, with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 65.1%, and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 75.0%. The sensitivity of the magnetic resonance imaging was 92.9%, with a PPV of 76.5%, and a NPV of 75.0%. The kappa coefficient of agreement between the 2 tests was 0.69 (95% confidence interval [95%CI]: (0.26–1.00). Conclusion The ultrasound and the magnetic resonance imaging showed similar sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of placenta accreta.
