Abstract

A 27-year-old primigravida, with two prior adnexal operations, had retained placenta with postpartum haemorrhage following an uncomplicated vaginal delivery. Laparotomic removal revealed placental accretism. Pharmacological treatment (oxytocin and sul­prostone) and right cornual resection failed to control profuse bleeding. In the end, subtotal hysterectomy was unavoidable.
