title: A pregnant lady with intermittent vaginal bleeding (2007: 3b). Placenta percreta.
abstract: Placenta percreta is a potentially life-threatening complication of pregnancy, which is increasing in incidence. Ante-natal diagnosis with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging aids the obstetric team in planning further management. We present a case of placenta percreta with imaging and a brief review of the literature.
