title: Acute abdomen and massive hemorrhage due to placenta percreta leading to spontaneous uterine rupture in the second trimester.
abstract: Placental invasion anomalies are rare obstetrical complications. They cause severe third trimester hemorrhage, severe postpartum bleeding, and maternal morbidity and mortality unless they are diagnosed antenatally. We present a rare case with placenta percreta leading to spontaneous uterine rupture during the second trimester with an acute abdomen and hypovolemia.
