[Antenatal ultrasonographic and Doppler color diagnosis of placenta previa/accreta focalis].
A case of placenta previa/accreta focalis was diagnosed at 29 weeks gestation in a 40 year-old patient using color Doppler ultrasound. A picture of intense blood flow within the placental sonolucent spaces, with vessels crossing from the placenta into the uterine wall was evident. A Cesarean section was performed. The macroscopic examination of the uterus during the operation revealed a focal invasion of the placental villi throughout the myometrium.
