The prenatal diagnosis of adherent placenta is clinically very important, as this condition can seriously affect perinatal mortality and morbidity. The outcome is generally worse in cases with a history of Cesarean section. Here we report a case of placenta increta associated with previous Cesarean delivery, diagnosed by sonography during the first trimester, enabling earlier counseling of the parents and planning of appropriate treatment.
