Popis: The morbidly adherent placenta has evolved into one of the potentially life-threatening conditions in obstetrics. Vaginal bleeding is the most common presentation of placenta percreta. Other symptoms include unusual dull, prolonged lower abdominal pain. Although haematuria is rare, it may be a presentation of the morbidly adherent placenta in early pregnancy. We report a case of placenta percreta with a very uncommon presentation of gross haematuria early in the second trimester managed successfully. It is emphasized that a high index of suspicion, ultrasound, and/or MRI can establish a preoperative diagnosis of the invasive placenta earlier. However, the diagnostic accuracy of cystoscopy is still under debate. With timely diagnosis, preparedness, and multidisciplinary care, it is possible to minimize catastrophic complications.
