Placenta creta is an uncommon pathology of placental attachment.
General
- What?
- Trophoblastic tissue deeper than it should be.
- Clinical?
- Postpartum hemorrhage leading to a hysterectomy.[1]
- Pathogenesis?
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
- Trophoblastic tissue extends into the myometrium.
Placenta percreta
- Trophoblastic tissue penetrates through the myometrium.
