Abstract

Placental disorders, especially Placenta Accreta Spectrum Disorder (PAS) and placenta previa are major risk factors for massive bleeding in obstetrics, being a common cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. When the two of them co-exist, the risk rises exponentially. We present a challenging case of a complete placenta previa and placenta percreta, diagnosed intraoperatively. The patient had a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy.
