With the hypoechoic areas also consider the possibility of Placenta Accreta. Particularly in an anterior placenta with a prior C Section or other uterine scaring in the anterior area.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
