ABSTRACT: Multiple gestations have
been reported as a risk factor for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) but the
evidence is limited. Previous reports showed that PAS degrees (creta, increta,
percreta) were similar in multiple gestation placentas. To our knowledge, there
have been no reports of PAS in dichorionic placentas with different degrees of
invasion. Here, we report dichorionic diamniotic placentas with two different
degrees of invasion, one increta and another percreta.
