Popis: Background: Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders are increasing in incidence and represent a significant contributor to severe maternal morbidity in the US. Prior uterine surgeries other than cesarean section are important, yet less common, risk factors for PAS. Case: This is a case of a 43-year-old woman with a prior history of cervical cancer necessitating radical trachelectomy. She was subsequently diagnosed with a complete placenta previa with a high degree of suspicion for PAS. Multidisciplinary teams convened to plan for delivery. A cesarean hysterectomy was performed at 32 weeks. Final surgical pathology confirmed the presence of morbidly adherent placenta invading the vaginal cuff. Conclusion: Patients who are diagnosed with early-stage cervical cancers have the option of fertility-preserving surgical management. Serial ultrasound evaluations, specifically looking for PAS, might be warranted in post-trachelectomy pregnancies.
