However, uterine rupture occurring in the absence of prior scar or use of oxytocics is a rarity. Placenta percreta is an unusual cause of uterine rupture and subsequent intra-uterine fetal death. Placenta percreta occurs when the uterine wall is invaded by the placenta up to the level of the serosa. A high index of suspicion and thorough review of the patient is required for making this diagnosis. Misdiagnosis is associated with dare consequences of increased maternal morbidity and mortality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Placenta percreta is a rare disorder of placentation that can cause uterine rupture which can easily be misdiagnosed.
