A myotonic dystrophy 1 patient complicated with placental adherence after miscarriage of one dichorionic diamniotic twin following her tenth in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.

摘要

Introduction: Placental adherence is one of the most common causes of emergency hysterectomy to save the mother's life. Risk factors for placental adherence reportedly include a prior caesarean section, other previous uterine surgery, maternal age and multiparity. Recently, in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy was also reported to be a risk factor. Unfortunately, it appears likely that patients who seek help to have a baby are complicated with multiple risk factors. Physicians should be very careful when treating these patients.
