- Abstract
Placenta Percreta is one of the most challenging and serious obstetric emergencies which can lead to obstetric hemorrhage and life-threatening complications. We present a case of placenta percreta in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) diagnosed by Doppler ultrasound. The case was managed conservatively with uterine preservation. The patient was managed by a multidisciplinary team. No manipulation of the placenta was attempted. Methotrexate was used as adjunct therapy, and weekly follow-up by serial ultrasound scan and Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (BHCG) levels measurements. Patient resumed her menstrual cycle after 7 months.
