Placenta previa is an obstetric condition where the placenta implants low in the uterus, partially or completely covering the cervix. This can lead to significant antepartum hemorrhage, posing risks to both mother and fetus. Ultrasound is the definitive diagnostic tool, crucial for early detection and management planning in OBGYN.
Effective management of placenta previa often involves serial ultrasound scans to monitor placental migration and determine the safest delivery method. Understanding this condition is vital for medical professionals, enabling timely interventions to ensure positive maternal and fetal outcomes.
