Background: Morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) is a life-threatening condition characterized by placental villi being abnormally adherent to the myometrium. Prenatal identification of MAP is essential to anticipate the risk and plan optimal delivery conditions for these women while this is associated to a maternal outcome improvement. Prenatal identification based on Doppler ultrasound and/or MRI is associated with high rates of false-positive or false-negative findings responsible for adverse effects. Some cases reports have suggested that the concentration of cell-free fetal DNA circulating in the maternal plasma is significantly increased in a context of morbidly adherent placenta (MAP).
