  • Title: Massive obstetric hemorrhage due to placenta previa/accreta with prior cesarean section.
    Author: Manyonda IT, Varma TR.
    Journal: Int J Gynaecol Obstet; 1991 Feb; 34(2):183-6. PubMed ID: 1671376.
    Abstract:
    There is a high association between anterior placenta previa, placenta accreta and previous cesarean section. We report three cases which illustrate the particular danger of massive hemorrhage posed by placenta previa/accreta in a scarred uterus. As the incidence of cesarean section continues to rise worldwide, the problem of placenta previa/accreta is likely to become more common. We emphasize the need for each obstetric unit to have a protocol for dealing with massive hemorrhage.
