CH 12 Pediatric Pelvis: Male and Female Flashcards

Q

normal testicle

A

homogeneous medium echo texture.
Tunica albuginea is the fibrous capsule surrounding the testicle.
Tunica vaginalis is a saccular extension of the peritoneum into the scrotal chambers.
The inner/visceral layer covers the testis and epididymis. The outer/parietal layer lines the scrotal chamber.

Q

Epididymis

A

parallel to the testicle and is composed of a head, body and tail. It appears as an echogenic curved structure, posteriorlateral to the testes.

A

acute onset of lower abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and leukocytosis.

106
Q

OV torsion at mesosalpinx

A

(portion of broad ligament that stretches from the ov to the level of the fallopian tube)
occurs due to changes in intra-abdominal pressure and body position.

107
Q

Torsion of OV and fallopian tube

A

occurs due to partial/complete twisting of the ovary on its vascular pedicle. venous congestion, hemorrhage and ischemia occurs. Prolonged ischemia can lead to necrosis, loss of ovarian function, infection and peritonitis.

108
Q

OV torsion sono:

A

ov enlargement due to edema along with a midline ovary is seen, in addition to fluid in the cul-de-sac, an adnexal mass (hemorrhage/infarction), cystic or complex mass with fluid-debris levels and septaions and peripheral multiple (8-12 mm) follicles.

109
Q

Ambiguous genitalia

A

when a child is born with a micropenis and no palpable gonads or hypospadias without a palpable gonad or only one palpable gonad.

110
Q

Ambiguous genitalia sono:

A

determine the presence/absence of a uterus, identify gonads, examine renals and adrenals (enlarged adrenals may occur)

Gonads which are in the scrotum or lower inguinal canal have testicular tissue and are either testes(homogenous) or ovoteses (heterogenous) in children with ambiguous genitalia.

**ovaries should never be seen this low, unless they are in a hernia.
