Diagnosis of abnormally invasive posterior placentation: The role of MR imaging
Madison R Kocher
Medical University of South Carolina, USA
A
bnormally invasive placentation is becoming more common with a recent increase in Cesarean sections and maternal
age, among other risk factors. Ultrasonography is the first line-imaging, but it can be difficult to diagnose when limiting
factors are present. Failure to recognize this serious placental abnormality precludes us from making the appropriate plan for
the delivery and consequently can lead to fatal results. In this report, we present a case in which magnetic resonance imaging
was used to diagnose posterior placenta increta missed by multiple sonographic examinations in a patient with previous
myomectomies, and we also include a review of the literature on this topic. It is our conclusion that magnetic resonance
imaging is superior to sonography to diagnose abnormally invasive placentation in cases of posterior placenta previa and high
pretesting probability.
