• Resumen

  • Placenta accreta spectrum is a state of abnormal attachment of the placenta to the myometrium, resulting in hemorrhage and delayed or impossible delivery of the placenta. It`s an infrequent pathology, and this condition can be life-threatening. We present an interesting case of a 41-year-old female with COVID-19 that attends the emergency room due to scanty vaginal bleeding at 14 days postpartum. A hemostatic hysterectomy was performed, and the diagnosis of placenta accreta was made.
