Placenta Implantation Abnormalities

Links: Placenta - Abnormalities

Placenta Accreta

Abnormal adherence, with absence of decidua basalis. The incidence of placenta accreta also significantly increases in women with previous cesarean section compared to those without a prior surgical delivery.

Placenta Increta

Occurs when the placenta attaches deep into the uterine wall and penetrates into the uterine muscle, but does not penetrate the uterine serosa. Placenta increta accounts for approximately 15-17% of all cases.

Placenta Percreta

Placental villi penetrate myometrium and through to uterine serosa.
