Introduction. This is a case report of maternal and fetal death due to major hemorrhage of a patients with placenta previa/accreta in a concealed pregnancy. Bleeding is the leading cause of maternal mortality in obstetrics. Postpartum hemorrhage is the most important cause of maternal death. Placenta accreta is a severe complication involving an abnormal attachment to the uterine wall so that it cannot be easily separated from the uterus. Case report. Due to the fact that one part of the placenta is partially detached, while the other part has grown into the uterus, postpartum hemorrhage may occur with lethal outcome, unless the mother is hospitalized. Fetal death was caused by severe meconium aspiration. One way to prevent such complications is to support legal abortions. .

Placenta previa and placenta accreta are important causes of serious fetal and maternal morbidity and even mortality necessitating hysterectomy. We report a case of total placenta previa with accreta in a 39-year-old female in the 32+2 weeks of pregnancy with successful delivery by cesarean. However, hysterectomy was performed to control postpartum hemorrhage.

AbstractPlacenta accreta syndromes are associated with increased maternal mortality and morbidity. Cesarean hysterectomy is usually performed in cases of placenta accreta syndrome. Fertility sparing methods can be applied. In the present study, we report a successful segmental uterine resection method for placenta accreta in the anterior uterine wall in a cesarean section case. A 39-year-old woman underwent an elective cesarean section at 38 + 2 weeks. A placental tissue with an area of 10 cm was observed extending from the anterior uterine wall to the serosa, 2 cm above the uterine incision line. The placental tissue was removed with the help of monopolar electrocautery. The uterine incision was continuously sutured. The patient was discharged on the second postoperative day. The placental pathology was reported as placenta accreta. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) generally recommends cesarean section hysterectomy in cases of placenta accreta because removal of placenta associated with significant hemorrhage. Conservative and fertility sparing methods include placenta left in situ, cervical inversion technique and triple-P procedure. There are several studies reporting that segmental uterine resection is performed with and without balloon placement or artery ligation. Segmental uterine resection may be an alternative to cesarean hysterectomy to preserve fertility or to protect the uterus in cases of placenta accreta when there is no placenta previa.

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.

Fetus papyraceus is a rare condition of a mummified and compressed fetus occurring in multiple gestations where one fetus dies in utero and is merged between the uterine wall and the membranes of living fetus. The blood vessels of the placenta of the two fetuses anastomose with each other, a third cycle occurs, causing fetal death (fetal transfer syndrome). Ultrasonography may identify the Fetus papyraceus, but is not always promising due to anatomical location. Cautious supervision is important during pregnancy for its positive outcome. We report a case of fetus papyraceus in Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Paropakar Maternity and Women’s Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal.

Perdarahan postpartum merupakan salah satu penyebab utama kematian ibu selain penyakit kardiovaskuler. Diantara penyebab perdarahan post partum adalah plasenta akreta dimana insidennya semakin meningkat dari tahun ke tahun seiring dengan peningkatan jumlah persalinan dengan seksio sesarea. Kami laporkan dua kasus ibu hamil dengan plasenta akreta yang direncanakan tindakan seksio sesarea emergency yang dikelola dengan general anesthesia rapid sequence induction. Kasus pertama, perempuan berusia 31 tahun G3P1A1 usia kehamilan 36–37 minggu dalam persalinan, perdarahan antepartum ec plasenta previa totalis, plasenta akreta dengan hemodinamik stabil. Intraoperatif, perdarahan sekitar 7000 cc, dan diberikan transfusi 8 unit PRC, 4 unit WB, 4 unit FFP, dan 4 unit Tc. Pascaoperasi pasien dirawat di ICU, dan komplikasi yang terjadi produk drain abdomen sekitar 1900 cc bercampur darah. tidak ada komplikasi mayor lainnya, pasien pindah ruang rawat inap pada hari keempat pascaoperasi. Kasus kedua, perempuan berusia 40 tahun G3P2A0 usia kehamilan 37–38 minggu dalam persalinan, perdarahan antepartum ec plasenta previa totalis, plasenta akreta dengan hemodinamik stabil. Intraoperatif, perdarahan sekitar 9000 cc, dan dilakukan transfusi 8 unit PRC, 8 unit WB, 4 unit FFP, dan 4 unit Tc. Pascaoperasi pasien dirawat di ICU, dan. tidak ada komplikasi signifikan terjadi. Hari kedua pascaoperasi pasien pindah ke ruang rawat inap. Case Series: Anesthesia Management in Pregnant Woman with Placenta Accreta Planned for Caesarean Section Abstract Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity besides cardiovascular disease. Among the causes of postpartum hemorrhage is placenta accreta, where the incidence increases from year to year along with the increase in the number of cesarean delivery. We report two cases of pregnant women with placenta accreta planned for emergency cesarean section managed with general anesthesia rapid sequence induction. The first case, 31-year-old woman G3P1A1 36–37 weeks of gestation in labor, antepartum hemorrhage ec placenta previa totalis, placenta accreta with hemodynamically stable. During procedure, blood loss about 7000 cc, and given transfusion of 8 units of PRC, 4 units of WB, 4 units of FFP, and 4 units of Tc. In the end of procedure, the patient was transferred to intensive care unit, and complications that occurred around 1900 cc of abdominal drain product mixed with blood. After that, there were no other major complications, then the patient moved the ward on the fourth day. The second case, a 40-year-old woman G3P2A0 37–38 weeks of gestation in labor, antepartum hemorrhage ec placenta previa totalis, placenta accreta with hemodynamically stable. During procedure, blood loss about 9000 cc, and given transfusion of 8 units of PRC, 8 units of WB, 4 units of FFP, and 4 units of Tc. In the end of procedure, the patient was transferred to intensive care unit, and no significant complications happen. The second day after surgery the patient moved to the ward.

Mullerian duct anomalies may cause obstetric complications, such as postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and placental adhesion anomalies. Uterine compression suture may be useful for controlling PPH (especially atony). In recent studies, uterine compression sutures have been used in placenta accreta. We report a case of PPH, a placenta accreta accompanying a large septae, treated with B-Lynch suture and intrauterine gauze tampon.

Indications for the use of transarterial embolization (TAE) for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) have been established. However, the efficacy of TAE for PPH complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) remains controversial. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of TAE for PPH complicated by DIC. A database review was conducted to identify patients who were treated with TAE for PPH at our hospital. TAE was performed in 41 patients during the study period. Effective hemostasis was achieved in all cases, but additional procedures, such as re-embolization or hysterectomy, were required in five patients (12.2%). The typical causes of PPH included uterine atony (18 cases), placenta previa (15 cases), amniotic fluid embolism (DIC-type) (11 cases), and placenta accreta spectrum (10 cases). The mean blood loss was 3836 mL. The mean obstetrical DIC and the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis DIC scores were 7.9 and 2.6, respectively. The efficacy of hemostasis was comparable between patients with and without DIC. However, the complete success rate of TAE was lower in patients with DIC as the condition worsened than that in non-DIC patients. Overall, TAE is effective as a minimally invasive treatment for PPH complicated by DIC.
