Summary

The investigators evaluated the efficacy of a staging system introduced by the American Institute of ultrasound in medicine 2015 including sonographic parameters associated with morbidly adherent placenta for antenatal prediction of placental invasion.

Detailed description

Morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) defines a spectrum of conditions, including placenta accreta, increta, and percreta, which are associated with significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Ultrasound evaluation, with grayscale, is the recommended first-line modality for diagnosing MAP. Grayscale ultrasound features suggestive of placenta accreta include the loss of myometrial interface or retroplacental clear space, reduced myometrial thickness and the presence of intraplacental lacunae. Using a staging system by antenatal ultrasound can predict placental invasion antenatally.

Conditions

• Obstetric Labor Complications
• Staging of Placental Invasion

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Ultrasound	Pregnant women in 3rd trimester with anterior placenta previa and lower cesarean section scar. Ultrasound was done and according to parameters of the morbidly adherent placenta, a staging system was conducted.
