Conservative Management of Placenta Accreta in a Multiparous Woman

Figure 2

CT scan of the patient’s abdomen on postpartum day 27 demonstrating the uterus with the retained placenta was demonstrated (arrow). The presence of dilated, fluid filled loops of small bowel with collapse of the large bowel confirmed the diagnosis of a mechanical small bowel obstruction. A possible adhesion was noted between the uterine fundus and the bowel (not shown here).
