Abstract

Placenta accreta is a rare condition and is associated with considerable maternal morbidity and mortality. Though hysterectomy is a definitive therapy, there are some occasions that conservation of the uterus is desired by the patient and bleeding is not excessive. We report a case successfully treated using methotrexate in patient whose placenta was not detached from the uterus with a brief review of literature.

Key Words: Placenta accreta, Methotrexate
