“…Placenta percreta with bladder invasion was first recorded within a placenta accreta series by Ochshorn et al (1969). The following year there were 2 reports of multiparous women with previous caesarian sections who were admitted with gross haematuria and found at laparotomy to have placenta invading the bladder (Grabert et al, 1970;Taefi et al, 1970). Since then, 7 more reports of placental bladder invasion have been published (Silber et al, 1973;Breen et al, 1977;Collins <tal., 1978;Hutton et al, 1983;Mathews, 1983;Trenton, 1984;Aho et al, 1985).…”

The placenta, normally confined to the decidual lining of the uterine cavity, can in some circumstances invade the muscular wall of the uterus, a condition known as placenta accreta. Less common is placenta increta, in which placental cotyledons become intertwined with the muscular stroma of the uterus. Placenta percreta, in which the trophoblastic tissues penetrate the serosa of the uterus and may extend directly to adjacent structures, is even more rare and is potentially life-threatening. There have been only 10 reports of direct invasion of placenta percreta into the urinary bladder. We review these cases and report 3 recent patients, one of whom was diagnosed pre-operatively by ultrasonography.
