Nkwabong Elie, Mboudou Emile Telesphore and Akwa John

Placenta increta is associated with increased maternal morbidity and mortality. The treatment of this condition is usually (sub) total hysterectomy, but in cases of slight or no bleeding in women who desire future childbirth, conservative treatment can be attempted. This is a case report of a woman with placenta increta without any known risk factor, whose successful conservative treatment (defined by uterine preservation) with methotrexate was achieved. We reemphasizes on the precautions that must be taken if such conservative approach is to be attempted.
