Placenta accreta is a pregnancy complication where the placenta attaches too deeply into the uterine wall. Normally, the placenta separates easily after childbirth, but in cases of accreta, it can be difficult to detach, leading to severe bleeding and other complications. This condition can occur in women who have had previous uterine surgeries, such as cesarean sections, or those with certain risk factors. Early diagnosis through ultrasound or MRI is crucial for managing the condition and planning for a safe delivery, often requiring a specialized approach to minimize risks to both the mother and baby.
