Placenta Previa (PP) is the abnormal presence of placenta in front of internal os and can be classified into three types (Marginal, partial and complete PP. Transabdominal ultrasound is an effective modality toevaluate PP. Placenta Accreta (PA) occurs when chorionic villi insert deep into the myometrium due to imperfection of decidua basalis. PAis classified on the basis of myometrial invasion. The mildest form of PAis placenta accreta Vera which is classified as attachment of chorionic villi to the myometrium but sparing the muscle. There are 10% chances of PA in women with the initial diagnosis of PP. Previous cesarean section and advanced maternal age are independent risk factors for this high-risk group. Undiagnosed PP is related to significant maternal mortality (up to 25%) and morbidity which occurs due to intrapartum hemorrhage, uterine rupture, abscess formation, and bladder and rectum invasion. The reliability of Brightness mode and color Doppler ultrasound varies widely in different studies for antenatal diagnosis of PA. Magnetic resonance imaging, with and without gadolinium contrast, has been scrutinized as the modality for the greater precision of the antenatal diagnosis of PA in recent times.

Abstract Objectives We aimed to assess the performance of ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signs for antenatal detection of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders in women with placenta previa (placental edge ≤2 cm from the internal uterine orifice, ≥260/7 weeks’ gestation) with and without a history of previous Caesarean section. Methods Single center prospective observational study. US suspicion of PAS was raised in the presence of obliteration of the hypoechoic space between uterus and placenta, interruption of the hyperechoic uterine-bladder interface and/or turbulent placental lacunae on color Doppler. All MRI studies were blindly evaluated by a single operator. PAS was defined as clinically significant when histopathological diagnosis was associated with at least one of: intrauterine balloon placement, compressive uterine sutures, peripartum hysterectomy, uterine or hypogastric artery ligature, uterine artery embolization. Results A total of 39 women were included: 7/39 had clinically significant PAS. There were 6/18 cases of PAS with anterior placenta: hypoechoic space interruption and placental lacunae were the most sensitive sonographic signs (83%), while abnormal hyperechoic interface was the most specific (83%). On MRI, focal myometrial interruption and T2 intraplacental dark bands showed the best sensitivity (83%), bladder tenting had the best specificity (100%). 1/21 women with posterior placenta had PAS. There was substantial agreement between US and MRI in patients with anterior placenta (κ=0.78). Conclusions US and MRI agreement in antenatal diagnosis of clinically significant PAS was maximal in high-risk women. Placental lacunae on ultrasound scan and T2 intraplacental hypointense bands on MRI should trigger the suspicion of PAS.
