Placenta accreta is a condition that occurs during pregnancy when the placenta attaches too deeply into the uterine wall. This can cause severe bleeding during delivery and can lead to complications for both the mother and the baby. There are several synonyms for placenta accreta, including placenta previa accreta, placenta percreta, and placenta increta. Placenta previa accreta is when the placenta covers the cervix and attaches deeply into the uterine wall. Placenta percreta is when the placenta grows through the uterus and attaches to other organs, such as the bladder. Placenta increta is when the placenta invades the uterine wall but does not go through it. It is important to identify and manage these conditions early to prevent complications and ensure a safe delivery for both mother and baby.
