Placenta accreta, part of the placenta accreta spectrum also called morbidly adherent placenta, is a medical condition that occurs when all or part of the placenta attaches abnormally to the myometrium during pregnancy. The condition was first documented in medical literature in 1927, and three grades of severity are defined by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics, initially named accreta, increta, and percreta in order of severity.
