Uterine conservation despite severe sepsis in a case of placenta accreta first treated conservatively: 3-month delayed successful removal of the placenta.

Objective: To report a case of successful delayed removal of a placenta accreta first treated conservatively. Secondary infectious complications can occur after conservative management in cases of placenta accreta, most often leading to hysterectomy.

Design: Case report.

Diaphanospondylodysostosis (DSD): confirmation of a recessive disorder with abnormal vertebral ossification and nephroblastomatosis.

We report on four patients from three families, with similar radiological findings: absent (or severely delayed) ossification of vertebral bodies and associated anomalies. The babies were stillborn or died soon after birth of respiratory insufficiency. Two patients are sibs (female and male) born to first cousin Malian parents.
