Abstract

Objective. To analyze the possibilities of ultrasound diagnosis of placenta increta, to develop its reliable echographic signs in women with placenta previa, and to compare our obtained results with the data published in the literature. Subjects and methods. A total of 162 women with placenta previa and no placental migration were identified. All the pregnant women underwent an in-depth study using transabdominal, transvaginal echography and color Doppler mapping. The echography was performed at 7 to 39 weeks’ gestation once every 4 weeks and a study group was selected after only 28 weeks of pregnancy. Results. The echographic signs suggestive of placenta increta were established. Conclusion. Ultrasound examination in patients with placenta previa is a valuable tool and, in most cases, may not only suggest that placental tissue grows into the myometrium, but also exclude this abnormality.
