Abstract

Placental bands on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are a known imaging finding in placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). It is believed that these linear T2 hypo-intensities may reflect increased fibrin deposition in the setting of placental hemorrhage or infarct. However, to date there is little published data regarding histopathologic analysis of placental parenchyma at the site of identified bands. We report the case of a 34-year-old female with a single placental band demonstrated on preoperative MRI which was evaluated postoperatively and found to represent a placental infarct.
