FERRARA-COPPOLA, C et al. Placenta Accreta in a COVID-19 positive patient. Sanid. Mil. [online]. 2022, vol.78, n.3, pp.180-181.  Epub Jan 30, 2023. ISSN 1887-8571.  https://dx.doi.org/0.4321/s1887-85712022000300009.

Placenta accreta spectrum is a state of abnormal attachment of the placenta to the myometrium, resulting in hemorrhage and delayed or impossible delivery of the placenta. It`s an infrequent pathology, and this condition can be life-threatening. We present an interesting case of a 41-year-old female with COVID-19 that attends the emergency room due to scanty vaginal bleeding at 14 days postpartum. A hemostatic hysterectomy was performed, and the diagnosis of placenta accreta was made.

Keywords : Postpartum vaginal bleeding; Obstetric hemorrhage; SARS-COV-2; COVID-19; Hysterectomy; Placenta accreta.
