Introduction:
Placental lakes are smooth and blood-filled cavities of varying sizes observed during routine ultrasound examination of pregnant women.
Presentation Of Case:
This report describes a case of a 35-year-old Syrian woman who complained of vaginal bleeding at 39 weeks of gestation. The patient had a history of seven cesarean sections. Echography revealed anterior accreta placenta previa and 4 large placental lakes measuring 10, 8, 4, and 4 cm. Complete hysterectomy was performed, and the patient was discharged without complications.
Discussion:
The importance of this case lies in the presence of four placental lakes, with the largest reaching a size of 10 cm, accompanied by an accreta placenta previa, which is rare.
Conclusion:
Maternal and fetal complications remain controversial, as some studies have suggested direct effects on the health of the mother and fetus, whereas others have refuted any correlation.
