AI Article Synopsis
- The case involves a second trimester placenta accreta, which is a serious condition where the placenta attaches too deeply into the uterine wall.
- It presented as postabortal hemorrhage, meaning there was heavy bleeding following a miscarriage.
- The situation was complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), a serious condition that affects blood clotting, leading to the need for a hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus).
