Abstract
- Placenta percreta occurs when chorionic villi penetrate through the myometrium up to the serosa. The incidence of placenta percreta is extremely rare (about 1/140000 deliveries) but it is accompanied by life threatening complication of pregnancy due to massive hemorrhage. Antepartum diagnosis and proper management is important to decrease the marternal mortality and morbidity. We present two cases of spontaneous uterine rupture due to placenta percreta with brief review of literature. The one is that a women with a history of previous ceasrean section and placenta previa was treated with cesarean hysterectomy due to the spontaneous uterine rupture with placenta percreta at GA 37(+2) weeks. The other is that a women with a bicornuate uterus had preserved the ruptured uterus with placenta percreta incidentally detected at emergency cesarean section at GA 39(+5) weeks.
