Abstract
It is estimated that 140 000 women die of postpartum hemorrhage per year. Although statistically, placenta accreta has now become an important etiology of maternal morbidity and mortality Due to the increasing rate of cesarean delivery, there has been a 10 - fold rise in the incidence of placenta accreta since the 1970 In a recent survey, placenta accreta was even found to have become the leading cause of emergency peripartum hysterectomy which represents 40 - 60% of cases. Placenta accreta is a potentially life - threatening obstetric condition that requires a multidisciplinary approach to management. The incidence of placenta accreta has increased and seems to parallel the increasing cesarean delivery rate. Women at greatest risk of placenta accreta are those who have myometrial damage caused by a previous cesarean delivery spescially placenta previa anterior overlying the uterine scar
