28
Q

Placental grading? Placenta has echogenic indentations from the chorionic plate to the basal plate which create discrete components that resemble cotyledons. Basal plate densities also increased

A

Grade 3

29
Q

Patient has a well circumscribed, rounded hypoechoic lesion near the chorionic plate and protruding into the amnionic cavity. What is the diagnosis?

A

Chorioangioma

30
Q

What sized of chorioangioma can can symptoms start to show?

A

4 cm

31
Q

What are the sequelaes of chorioangioma?

A

hydramnios, preterm delivery, and fetal growth restriction

32
Q

What tumor marker is increased in chorioangioma?

A

MSAFP

33
Q

What cardiac sequelae can result from chorioangioma?

A

fetal heart failure

treated with digoxin

34
Q

Tumor metastasis towards the fetus is common? T or F?

A

False. Usually confined to the intervillous space

35
Q

Most common metastatic tumor to the placenta altho still rare?

A

Melanoma

36
Q

Chorioamnionitis usual routes of infection are ascending or descending?

A

Ascending

37
Q

How many hours post rupture will the fetus be considered septic?

A

12 hours

38
Q

What prevents the ascending infection of the upper reproductive tract of a woman?

A

Mucus plug

39
Q

Infection of the full thickness of the placental membranes is called?

A

Chorioamnionitis

40
Q

Infection of the chorionic plate and the umbilical cord is called?

A

Funsitis

41
Q

What is the gross indicator of infection of the placental membranes?

A

Clouding of membranes

42
Q

Placental lesion consisting of numerous small, light tan
nodules on amnion that overlies the placenta and is considered hallmark of prolonged and severe
oligohydramnios?

A

Amnion Nodosum

43
Q

This disruption in fetal development causes formation of strings that entrap the fetus and cause amputation?

A

Amnion bands; amniotic band syndrome

44
Q

What is the umbilical cord length at delivery?

A

40-70 cm

Cord length increases with increase in amniotic fluid
volume and fetal mobility

45
Q

Fetus with down syndrome has short cords or long cords?

A

Short cords

46
Q

A

Large diameter cords

47
Q

the cord in centimeters?

A

48
Q

Hypercoiling of the umbilcial cord is associated with?

A
