Placenta accreta in the first trimester: A case report

Abstract

Abstract Placenta accreta is a severe complication of pregnancy normally diagnosed during the second trimester. Early detection could reduce the risk of hemorrhage during abortion or miscarriage; however, guidelines on first‐trimester diagnosis are lacking. We describe a case of placenta accreta during the first trimester with its sonographic and histological features.
