ABSTRACT

Background: Accretism is the abnormal adherence of the placenta to the myometrium due to partial or total absence of the basal decidua and incomplete development of the Nitabuch's layer.
Clinical case: 45-year-old patient, with a history of three pregnancies, two abortions and one cesarean section; amenorrhea of 12 weeks. The current condition started two days earlier, with intermittent transvaginal bleeding. On admission to the ED she was found to have low output and immediate loss of alertness; blood pressure 40-20 mmHg, heart rate 125 bpm. The posterior cervix was found to be dehiscent, with abundant transvaginal bleeding, positive immunological pregnancy test, HCG fraction 2878 mU/ mL. By associating the physical examination data, the diagnosis of incomplete abortion was integrated, and she was admitted to the tocosurgical unit, for instrumented uterine curettage.
Conclusions: According to the bibliographic searches, everything indicates that this is the first Mexican report of a case of placental accretism in the first trimester of pregnancy. It is suggested to search for risk factors that allow suspicion and facilitate the diagnosis of placental accretism from the first weeks of pregnancy to avoid fatal obstetric outcomes.
