Placenta creta is an uncommon pathology of placental attachment.

General

  • What?
    • Trophoblastic tissue deeper than it should be, so the placenta fails to separate at time of delivery
  • Clinical?
    • Failure of placenta to deliver spontaneously.
    • Postpartum hemorrhage leading to a hysterectomy.[1]
    • May be associated with antepartum hemorrhage.
    • Discovered on ultrasound during pregnancy, especially when associated with placenta previa
  • Pathogenesis?
    • It is suspected that it arises as there is defect in the endometrium/myometrium -- not deep trophoblastic invasion.[1]
    • Risk factors:[2]
      • Placenta previa.
      • Previous caesarian section.

Note:

  • Normal: trophoblastic tissue attaches to the decidua.[3]
  • Retained placentas have less multinucleated trophoblastic giant cells.[4]

Placenta accreta

  • Trophoblastic tissue (directly) adherent to the myometrium.[3]

Image:

Placenta increta

  • Placenta (i.e. trophoblastic tissue) extends into the myometrium but not through.[6]

Placenta percreta

  • Trophoblastic tissue penetrates through the myometrium.
