Abstract
Background: A placenta's improper attachment to the uterine wall is known as placenta accreta (PA). Ultrasound and MRI are used to make the diagnosis. Skilled ultrasound operators with placenta accreta spectrum experience produce accurate images. Aim: to prospectively evaluate a cohort of patients at high-risk of PAS using specific ultrasound signs derived from the criteria proposed by the EW-AIP. Patients and Methods: The present study is an observational cross sectional analytic study which was conducted at Al-Hussein and Sayed Galal Hospitals, Faculty of Medicine, Al-Azhar University on 100 women who were recruited from Obstetrics and Gynecology Department and outpatient clinics. Results: Most patients had patients had placenta accreta. According to US findings, the majority of patients had lateral PAS, and there was a noticeable disparity between US findings and surgical findings.For diagnosing placental accreta, ultrasound's sensitivity and specificity are adequate.Conclusion: For diagnosing placental accretas, ultrasound's sensitivity and specificity are adequate. Due to its accuracy, low cost, and noninvasive nature, The most accurate and popular scanning technique for determining the presence of the placental accreta is still ultrasound. This treatment method is extremely popular because it is widely available, patient-friendly, and reasonably priced.
