Objective. To demonstrate cases of uterine artery aneurysm and placenta increta into the internal cervical os in pregnant women who have no uterine scar.
Material and methods. Two clinical cases of placenta previa and increta into the internal cervical os were analyzed in multiparous women. The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and histological examination.
Results. According to ultrasound and MRI, placenta previa and increta into the cervical canal was diagnosed in two cases. One female patient who was 29 years of age and had given birth twice underwent a caesarean section at 32 weeks’ gestation; the other patient who was aged 37 years and had given birth once had the section at 38 weeks. Intraoperatively, in both cases, the placenta was located on the anterior wall of the uterus; there was uterine artery aneurysm (10×14 and 10×12 cm in size) and deep placental penetration into the cervical canal, which required hysterectomy; the total blood loss was 900 and 1700 ml, respectively.
Conclusion. Timely diagnosis of placenta previa and increta is one of the most important components of the prevention of severe obstetric complications. Multiparous women with placenta previa are likely to develop uterine artery aneurysm and placenta increta not only into the area of the lower cervical segment, but also in the cervical canal.
