Ascribing to the trend of rising cesarean delivery rates in the last decades, placenta accreta has become the most important cause of peripartum hysterectomy. Traditionally, cesarean hysterectomy is performed when placenta accreta is... more
We present some considerations on the contributions of Henri Poincaré and Albert Einstein to Special Relativity, based on the 2004 paper by Olivier Darrigol, ''The Mystery of the Einstein-Poincaré Connection''.
Background: Placenta previa and placenta accreta carry significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Several techniques have been described in the literature for controlling massive bleeding associated with placenta previa... more
Introduction Obstetrical hemorrhage is the second leading cause of direct maternal mortality (18% of maternal deaths) in developed countries and is the leading cause of severe maternal morbidity. The rising rate of obstetrical hemorrhage... more
Placenta percreta is a life-threatening condition that places patients at risk of massive bleeding. It necessitates very complicated surgery and can result in mortality. Caesarean hysterectomy is the accepted procedure worldwide; however,... more
The worldwide use of antepartal real-time ultrasonography in fetal b i~m e t r y l -~ and localization of normal and low-lying has been known for a long time. A few reports of characteristic antepartum ultrasound findings of a very rare... more
Introduction The incidence of cesarean section has been rising in the past 50 years. With the increased number of cesarean sections, the number of pregnancies with the previous cesarean section rises as well. The aim of this study was to... more
Placenta percreta is a complication of pregnancy with significant morbidity and mortality rates. Conservative management may be considered when fertility preservation is desired or to possibly reduce morbidity when there is invasion of... more
A 29-year-old nulliparous patient was treated with uterine artery embolization (UAE) for a large symptomatic uterine fibroid, resulting in a marked reduction of the tumor volume. She subsequently conceived and progressed through pregnancy... more
Placenta percreta is a rare obstetric condition. Until 1980, only 66 cases had been reported in the world literature (Teksen-Camlibel 198 1).
Nous rapportons le cas d'une patiente de 28 ans, G9P4. Sa dernière grossesse avait fait l'objet d'un échec d'interruption volontaire de grossesse (IVG) selon la méthode médicamenteuse à six semaines d'aménorrhée (SA). Le diagnostic de... more
The patient, who was 34 years of age, had previously had a transverse incision of the lower uterine segment cesarean section because of placenta previa. She was admitted to the hospital due to placenta previa again at 27 weeks of... more

![Fig. 3. Confluent sheet of interstitial trophoblasts infiltrating the myometrium in a case of placenta increta (A. H&E, B. Cytokeratin staining; original mag- nification x40). The basic histopathology of placenta creta is the absence of decidua basalis, with direct attachment of chorionic villi to the myometrium [1]. While the pathogenesis of defective decidu- alization remains unknown, previous instrumentation is thought to play a role. This is supported by the conditions associated with placenta creta, including advanced maternal age, high gravidity, previous uterine instrumentation (curet- tage and c-section), uterine structural defects, placenta previa, and ectopic implantation [13,22,23]. In our study, previous history of abortion and c-section, two or more previous curet- tages, and placenta previa were significantly associated with placenta creta. History of previous c-section was identified in 71.1% of cases with placenta creta, which was similar to a recently published study [24].
