Placenta accreta is a rare but serious placental attachment abnormality. The aim of this study is to analyze the epidemiological, clinical, para-clinical and evolutionary features of placenta accreta, to investigate the therapeutic management and to assess maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. We conducted a retrospective, descriptive study of patients with histologically confirmed placenta accreta in the obstetrics and gynaecology department of the Farhat Hached University Hospital in Sousse, over a 4-year period from 1st January 2015 to 31st December 2019. The epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical, therapeutic and evolutionary data were collected from patients' medical records and operative reports. In our series, we identified 46 cases of placenta accreta. The average age of our patients was 35±4.61 years. Each of our patients had a scarred uterus. The average term of delivery was 34 weeks of amenorrhoea and the mode of delivery was caesarean section for all our patients. First-line hysterectomy was performed in 40 patients and conservative treatment in 6. Sixteen patients developed maternal complications. No maternal death was observed. Placenta accreta is a rare condition associated with significant maternal and foetal morbidity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
