Abstract

Postpartum ultrasonographic examination of a patient with a retained placenta showed findings consistent with placenta accreta. The diagnosis was confirmed after surgery with histopathologic examination of the uterus. This case illustrates the possible clinical application of ultrasonography in the postpartum diagnosis of placenta accreta.
