Undiagnosed placenta praevia percreta: A rare case report and review of management.

Placenta accreta spectrum disorders, especially placenta percreta (PP) and placenta praevia (PLP), are major risk factors for massive obstetric haemorrhage which is a common cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in our environment.
