Placenta previa with posterior extrauterine adhesion: clinical features and management practice.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A diagnostic sign on magnetic resonance imaging, suggestive of posterior extrauterine adhesion (PEUA), was identified in patients with placenta previa. However, the clinical features or surgical outcomes of patients with placenta previa and PEUA are unclear.
