Placenta Accreta and Placenta Previa
Placenta Accreta and Placenta Previa

The image is of a hemisected uterus with the cervix to the right and fundus to the left.
The placenta is still within the uterus and is adherent to the myometrium.
The low implantation of the placenta meant that a portion covered the cervical os forming placenta previa.
