Placenta percreta, a rare uterine invasion, can extend to adjacent organs like the bladder. Early diagnosis via ultrasonography is crucial for managing this life-threatening condition.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Placenta accreta spectrum disorders involve abnormal placental invasion into the uterine wall.
  • Placenta percreta represents the most invasive form, penetrating the uterine serosa.

Observation:

  • Placenta percreta invasion into the urinary bladder is exceptionally rare, with only 10 prior reports.
  • This review examines existing cases and presents three new patients with bladder invasion.

Findings:

  • One of the reported patients was diagnosed pre-operatively using ultrasonography.
  • Ultrasonography may aid in the pre-operative detection of placenta percreta with bladder involvement.

Implications:

  • Accurate pre-operative diagnosis of placenta percreta is vital for surgical planning and patient safety.
