title: Transvaginal color Doppler sonography in the prenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta.
abstract: In a case of placenta accreta diagnosed antepartum, the sonographic findings included absence of the normal retroplacental clear space and presence of multiple dilated blood vessels beneath the placenta. Transvaginal color Doppler sonography was particularly useful in identifying these features.
