Abstract
We describe the sonographic appearance of two cases of uterine scar separation in patients with prior cesarean deliveries. In the first case, the anteriorly located placenta appeared to be a placenta previa with accreta and in the second case the placenta was also located directly beneath the uterine scar thus masking a separation until the third stage of labor was complete. These two cases demonstrate an unusual sonographic and clinical presentation of uterine scar separation involving anteriorly located placentas.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
