Placenta Invasion Anomaly without Placenta Previa in the First Trimester of Pregnancy and its Conservative Management: A Case Presentation

Abstract

Diagnosing placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is rather difficult in the first trimester of pregnancy. Especially if the localization of the placenta is not in and around the cervical canal, this may not attract the attention of obstetricians. Early diagnosis can decrease bleeding during curettage or miscarriage, but there are no guidelines regarding its diagnosis in the first trimester. In addition, there is insufficient evidence-based knowledge in the literature on the management and treatment of PAS without placenta previa. In this article, conservative treatment without hysterectomy of a patient diagnosed with PAS in first trimester was presented.
