Abstract: | IntroductionThe incidence of placenta accreta has risen and this entity can cause postpartum hemorrhage, often requiring obstetric hysterectomy. There are, however, alternative conservative treatments to surgery.Case reportA 38-year-old woman in her first pregnancy underwent manual removal of the placenta, with moderate hemorrhaging and subsequent curettage. The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound scan and magnetic resonance imaging. Selective embolization of the nutritional vessel was performed and methotrexate was administered. Three days after the embolization, the placental mass was expelled.ConclusionsSelective embolization of a nutritional vessel and adjuvant treatment with methotrexate are conservative techniques that allow preservation of both the uterus and fertility. According to previous reports in the literature, the time interval between delivery and definitive placental expulsion was lower in our case than in other conservatively managed cases. |
