GARCIA, Virginia et al. Prenatal Diagnosis of Placenta Accreta Spectrum and Its Management. A case report. Rev. Méd. Urug. [online]. 2024, vol.40, n.2, e702.  Epub June 01, 2024. ISSN 0303-3295.  https://doi.org/10.29193/rmu.40.2.5.

Placenta Accreta Spectrum is a condition associated with high morbidity and mortality. In recent years, there has been an increase in its incidence, highlighting its importance due to the rising rate of cesarean sections which is its main risk factor.

A case is described of a 32-year-old patient with placenta accreta, diagnosed via ultrasound at 31 weeks of gestation. The surgery was meticulously planned with the team, including the placement of balloons in the hypogastric arteries and a double-J catheter, allowing for detailed intraoperative staging.

In relation to the clinical case, a review and update of the pathology is carried out, emphasizing the detailed planning of the surgery and the approach in specialized teams.

Keywords : Placenta accreta; Placenta increta; Placenta percreta; Placentary acretism.
