The accreta of placenta is the anormal adherence of placenta to a deficient deciduas or to myometrum, leading to a delay in placenta expulsion or to placenta retention. It is associated to a post partum blooding which sometimes can corrected only with hysterectomy. Currently because the better understanding of risk factors and improved diagnostic tests, most of patients with placenta accreta could be diagnosticed throughout pregnancy. Evaluation of morphology and location of placenta form part of routine ecography obstetric assessment, which allow prenatal diagnostics of abnormal position of placenta and the possible invasion to other uterine layers. The early diagnostics make possible patients have an adequate and correct preparation for the partum and prevent its complications.

Keywords : transvaginal ecography; placenta acreta; postpartum blooding; hysterectomy.
