This case report describes a patient with severe endometrial ossification who subsequently achieved conception and developed placenta accreta.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

We report a severe case of endometrial ossification, requiring multiple hysteroscopies to restore fertility. Subsequent spontaneous conception occurred but there was a placenta previa and accreta. Treatment of severe endometrial ossification may increase the risk of morbidly adherent placenta, presumably due to damage to endometrium, leading to abnormal placentation.
