Abstract : Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a dangerous pregnancy condition where the placenta abnormally invades the uterine wall, with three severity levels: accreta, increta, and percreta. It poses a life- threatening risk during evacuation or curettage procedures for pregnancy loss due to potential massive bleeding. Early diagnosis is crucial for at-risk women, but there's limited research and established management protocols specifically for second-trimester pregnancy termination cases involving PAS. In this report, we describe a case of placenta accreta in second trimester, diagnosis and management.

Keywords : PlacentaAccreta Spectrum, Diagnosis, Management.
