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.
