Background: Placenta accreta is a potentially fatal obstetric disease which necessitates a multidisciplinary strategy to treatment.The occurrence of placenta accreta has grown, which appears to be correlated with the rising rate of cesarean deliveries. Women with myometrial damage from a prior cesarean birth, especially those with placenta previa anterior atop the uterine scar, are at the highest risk of placenta accreta.
Objective: To assess the accuracy of each 2D & CDF in diagnosing placenta accreta and to identify the prevalence, risk variables, and outcome of treatment of women with placenta accreta.
Patients and Methods: The study is a prospective cohort study that includes all cases diagnosed with placenta previa anterior plus one previous cesarean section who were admitted to Al Hussein and Sayed Galal University Hospital between January and December 2020. The study has been accepted by the obstetric department's ethical committee, and after proper counseling, all 107 women solicited for enrollment in the obstetric department and provided written informed consent.
Results: In prior cesarean delivery cases with placenta previa anterior, the occurrence of placenta accreta was 64%.
Conclusion: Color Doppler imaging has high specificity and sensitivity for identifying placenta previa accreta, particularly anterior placenta accreta, since abnormal uteroplacental invasion may be detected with high confidence.
