Growing number of cesarean deliveries lead to the increased frequency of abnormally invasive placentation. Success in the management of placenta accreta relies on accurate early diagnosis with appropriate perioperative multidisciplinary planning to anticipate and avoid massive obstetric haemorrhage at delivery. In this report, a case of placenta previa increta that was diagnosed antenatally with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging and managed conservatively with methotrexate was presented with the discussion of literature.
