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. This risk becomes exponential and life-threatening when the two conditions co-exist in the same patient. Even in advanced countries with readily available expertise and state of the art resuscitative and supportive facilities, these conditions are associated with grave maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.

Background: Large babies have attracted immense attention as they present obstetric problems with associated increase in perinatal morbidity and mortality. The major risk of fetal macrosomia is trauma to the fetus and mother during vaginal delivery.
