Abstract

One of the leading causes of maternal mortality and morbidity across the world is postpartum hemorrhage. A clinical scenario known as abnormally invasive placenta (AIP) or placenta accreta spectrum disorder (PAS) is when the placenta fails to separate spontaneously after birth and cannot be removed by force without resulting in significant and potentially fatal hemorrhage. Disorders of the placenta accreta spectrum possess the potential to complicate pregnancy. The most important risk factor for placenta accreta is a prior cesarean delivery combined with placenta previa. Here, we report an intriguing case of 28 years old woman at 35 weeks of gestation with previous 3 caesarean sections & with the diagnosis of placenta previa[1]. This case study illustrates the challenges related to placenta previa with previous three cesarean sections resulting in significant maternal bleeding that necessitated massive blood transfusion & resuscitation measures. In order to manage the complexity involved, it was vital to use a multidisciplinary approach comprising obstetricians, anesthesiologists, radiologists, and neonatologists
