Abstract
A case of placenta previa/accreta was diagnosed at 23 weeks' gestation using color Doppler ultrasound. Imaging showed an unusually intense blood flow within the placental sonolucent spaces and the hypervascularization patterns within the placental and the non-placental tissues. Highly pulsatile venous flow patterns were detected within the placental blood lakes and the subplacental venous complex. A strong association between the lacunar flow pattern and the abnormally adherent placentation was confirmed by the color Doppler sonographic findings.
