J Clin Ultrasound. 2022 Nov;50(9):1320-1321. doi: 10.1002/jcu.23247. Epub 2022 Jun 3.

Abstract

Although 10% of pregnancies following treatment of Asherman's syndrome are estimated to have abnormal placental adhesion, there is a paucity of reports describing imaging features in such cases. We describe ultrasound and MRI features in one of such cases, showing a peculiar pattern of shallow but diffuse abnormally adherent placenta.

Keywords: cesarean hysterectomy; hysteroscopic adhesiolysis; intrauterine adhesion; magnetic resonance imaging; placenta accreta.
