Abstract
Placenta percreta is a severe condition associated with maternal morbidity and mortality even when surgery is performed electively. Methotrexate has been suggested as a possible treatment modality for adherent placenta to avoid catastrophic surgery. The purpose of this report is to present a case where the placenta was left in situ to avoid cystectomy at the time of cesarean section, with subsequent failure of treatment with methotrexate.Entities:
