Abstract | RATIONALE: PATIENTS CONCERNS: Repetitive B-ultrasound of the first patient demonstrated a thin placenta covering the most part of uterine wall, which completely covers the internal cervical ostium for 22 weeks. B-ultrasound of the second patient showed placenta partially covering the internal cervical ostium and fetus small for gestation age for 23 days. The third patient complained of abdominal pain and vaginal discharge for 1 day. DIAGNOSES: Diagnosis of PM is based on Doppler ultrasound apparatus, and confirmed by pathology. INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOMES: LESSONS: High-resolution color Doppler ultrasound apparatus can improve the diagnostic accuracy, and close antenatal surveillance followed by proper arrangement of delivery may improve neonatal outcomes.
