Sagittal T2-weighted magnetic resonance image of the uterus at 22+4 weeks of gestation. The myometrium is extremely thin throughout the uterus with partial bulging of the anterior uterine wall (arrowheads).

Partial bulging of the anterior uterine wall was also noted, implying the presence of placenta accreta (Figure 1).
Sagittal contrast-enhanced computed tomographic image of the uterus on the 10th postpartum day. The retained placenta is circumscribed by a dashed line. Note that the placenta is enhanced by contrast medium in a patchy manner.

Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed the persistence of a significant placental blood supply (Figure 2).
Sagittal ultrasound image of the uterus on the 115th postpartum day. The placenta has become undetectable in the uterine cavity. Note that myometrial thickness has returned to normal.

Her serum hCG levels became lower than the cut-off value on the 87th postpartum day, and complete resorption of the residual placenta was ultrasonographically verified on the 115th day postpartum (Figure 3).
