It is thought to contribute to sub-fertility, and its only curative treatment is hysterectomy. However, studies have documented increased live birth rates in women with adenomyosis who were treated with gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Case<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Here we present a case of a 52-year-old woman with adenomyosis who had three failed frozen embryo transfers (FETs) prior to initiating a 6-month trial of GnRHa. GnRHa therapy resulted in a decrease in uterine size from 11.5\u2009\u00d7\u20097.9\u2009\u00d7\u20097.0\u2009cm to 7.8\u2009\u00d7\u20096.2\u2009\u00d7\u20095.9\u2009cm and a decrease in the junctional zone (JZ) thickness from 19 to 9\u2009mm. Subsequently, she underwent her fourth FET, which resulted in live birth of twins. The delivery was complicated by expansive accretas of both placentas requiring cesarean hysterectomy. The final pathology of the placentas demonstrated an extensive lack of decidualized endometrium that was even absent outside the basal plate.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>GnRHa therapy in patients with adenomyosis may improve implantation rates after FET. Previous molecular studies indicate that genetic variance in the expression of the gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR) could explain the expansive lack of decidualized endometrium after GnRHa therapy. Further investigations are needed to determine if GnRHa therapy contributes to the pathologic process of placenta accreta.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s40738-021-00097-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,3]],"date-time":"2021-03-03T09:06:19Z","timestamp":1614762379000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A rare case of extensive placenta accreta in twin pregnancy after GnRH agonist treatment of adenomyosis"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Shilpi","family":"Agrawala","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeevitha","family":"Patil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sukhkamal","family":"Campbell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Terri Lynn","family":"Woodard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,3]]},"reference":[{"issue":"11","key":"97_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1374","DOI":"10.3109\/00016349.2010.512061","volume":"89","author":"R Champaneria","year":"2010","unstructured":"Champaneria R, Abedin P, Daniels J, Balogun M, Khan KS.
