We describe the transvaginal sonographic findings in a patient with complete placenta previa and increased risk of preterm birth owing to a prior history of mid-trimester pregnancy loss in whom we observed a short cervix and prolapse of the placenta and fetal membranes into the endocervical canal. We believe that this could lead to antepartum hemorrhage and mandate close observation when diagnosed. We introduced the term "placental prolapse" to describe our finding.

Placental abruption during induction of labor in females with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is not exceptionally common and there are no documented reports of placental prolapse following abruption in the literature. The aim of this study is to discuss the possibility of placental abruption and partial prolapse of a low-lying placenta during a prolonged induction of labor in a female with recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy following a cholecystectomy. We describe a 31-year-old G4P3003 female with recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, with no family history of the condition and surgical history of cholecystectomy, whose induction of labor at 37+3/7 gestational weeks for intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy was complicated by placental abruption and partial prolapse of the low-lying placenta.

The following findings were obtained: NAD (no abnormality discovered), Placenta praevia totalis, Placenta praevia partialis lateralis, Placenta praevia partialis marginalis, deep adherence of placenta, early detachment of placenta, and uterus rupture. - Placental displacement was observed by repeated checking in 57 of 196 placentas with pathological findings.
