Placenta percreta in early pregnancy is rare and has been documented in only a few cases. We report on a patient with abdominal pain in week 10 of pregnancy. Sonography revealed a defective embryonic development and the absence of a border line between trophoblast and myometrium, as well as invasive growth in the region of isthmocervical transition, so curettage was performed. Heavy bleeding at this stage made a hysterectomy necessary. Histological examination revealed a placenta percreta. Because of possible complications, the therapy of choice for a placenta percreta is a hysterectomy, as was performed in this case.

Despite its critical importance, the placenta receives substantially less attention during obstetric ultrasound examinations compared to the fetus. The evaluation of the placenta is typically limited to determining its location within the uterus, particularly its relationship to the cervix. Abnormal placenta findings are the result of gross anomalies identified by chance during obstetric examinations, rather than from a systematic evaluation.

Background: Bladder injury during cesarean delivery (CD) in pregnant women with severe placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders mostly occurs in the dissection of vesico-uterine space. Placental MRI may help to assess the risk of bladder injury preoperatively.
Purpose: To identify the high-risk MRI signs of bladder injury during CD in women with severe PAS.

Background: Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorder is a fatal condition responsible for obstetric haemorrhage, which contributes to increased feto-maternal morbidity and mortality. The main contributing factor is a scarred uterus, often from a previous cesarean delivery, myomectomy, or uterine instrumentation. The occurrence of PAS in an unscarred uterus is extremely rare, with only anecdotal cases reported so far in the literature.

Placenta accreta represents a spectrum of adherent placental anomalies and is an atypical invasion of the placenta. The major predisposing factor is a prior cesarean delivery. Placenta previa is considered an additional risk factor.

Despite the increasing number of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) cases in recent years, its impact on neonatal outcomes and respiratory morbidity, as well as the underlying pathogenetic mechanism, has not yet been extensively studied. Moreover, no study has yet demonstrated the effectiveness of antenatal corticosteroid therapy (CT) for the prevention of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in newborns of mothers with PAS at the molecular level. In this regard, microRNA (miRNA) profiling by small RNA deep sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR was performed on 160 blood plasma samples from preterm infants (gestational age: 33-36 weeks) and their mothers who had been diagnosed with or without PAS depending on the timing of the antenatal RDS prophylaxis.
