Abstract
We present a case of severe placenta percreta in a 33-year-old woman, gravida 9 para5+3, who presented to the health clinic with gross hematuria for three days at 16 weeks gestation. She had a history of multiple cesarean deliveries and uterine curettage. The diagnosis was suspected, and an urgent referral was made. Ultrasonography findings done by an obstetrician in a tertiary hospital confirmed the diagnosis. Unfortunately, the pregnancy had to be terminated as her condition deteriorated. Primary care practitioners should have high clinical suspicion to recognize this rare and life-threatening condition.
