Abstract

Background: Placenta previa percreta with invasion of the broad ligament and uterine cervix is an extremely rare condition and carries high maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.

Case: A 39-year-old, multiparous woman with two previous cesarean sections presented in active labor at term with placenta previa percreta involving the left broad ligament and cervix. The patient was managed by antepartum diagnosis of placenta previa accreta, supracervical hysterectomy, and blood transfusion.

Conclusion: This case was managed consistent with the literature, and favorable maternal and fetal outcomes were achieved.
