Objective: To describe a rare case of a cervico-isthmic pregnancy with anterior placenta percreta that was treated at 34 weeks of gestation by removing the placenta and the attached uterine wall in one piece.
Design: Case report.
Setting: Tertiary university hospital.
Patient(s): A 32-year-old woman was diagnosed with a cervico-isthmic pregnancy and an anterior placenta percreta at 34 weeks' gestation at delivery by a cesarean section.
Intervention(s): Delivery of the neonate was performed by a uterine incision beyond the limits of the placenta. Thereafter, the placenta and the attached uterine wall were removed step by step by ligature section.
Main outcome measure(s): Intraprocedural or postprocedural complications and fertility preservation.
Result(s): The delivery was successfully performed without intraprocedural or postprocedural complications and with preservation of the patient's fertility. A successful pregnancy was conducted 1 year later.
Conclusion(s): In case of cervico-isthmic pregnancy with anterior placenta percreta, resection in one block of the placenta and the attached uterine wall may be an option for preserving fertility.
