Abstract
IntroductionThe fundus of the uterus is a rare location for abnormally invasive placenta compared with the common site of abnormally invasive placenta in the lower segment of the uterus.Presentation of caseWe report a case of a 38-year-old multipara woman who had a fundal partial placenta percreta with no prior cesarean sections, which presented as a retained placenta after preterm labor, and complicated with hemorrhagic shock due to postpartum hemoperitoneum, thus it was diagnosed after surgery and managed by subtotal hysterectomy.DiscussionWe discuss the most common risk factors for abnormally invasive placenta and its diagnosis and management. We compare the possibility of leading to invasive placenta resulting from curettage trauma and cesarean delivery scars.ConclusionHistory of uterine surgical procedures without prior cesarean delivery must raise suspicion of abnormally invasive placenta regardless of its localization, especially when associates with preterm labor or retained placenta.
