Abstract: Background: Placenta accreta spectrum refers to a placenta that is abnormally adherent to the uterus. There are three main entities (accreta, increta, and percreta), which are defined by histological degree of placental invasion into the myometrium. Placenta accreta spectrum is one of the most serious complications of placenta previa and is frequently associated with severe obstetric hemorrhage and obstetric hysterectomy. We present a case of placenta previa increta in COVID positive patient diagnosed by ultrasound, in which we took fundal arcuate incision for delivery of baby & obstetric hysterectomy.
