Placenta previa of a succenturiate lobe: a report of two cases.
Previa of a succenturiate placenta is a rare condition. We report two cases of such lesions, which could not be detected by transabdominal ultrasound. When no cause of uterine bleeding is detected, previa of a posterior succenturiate lobe should be considered, and transvaginal ultrasound should be performed.
