Partial placenta increta and methotrexate therapy: three case reports.

The term placenta accreta is used to describe any placental implantation in which there is abnormally firm adherence to the uterine wall. This condition complicates 1/2,500 deliveries and is rising in incidence. Abnormal placentation is associated with increased maternal morbidity and mortality from severe hemorrhage, uterine perforation, infection and loss of fertility.
