ch 21 & 22 Flashcards
focal dilatation of the artery
aneurysm
placenta where the lobes are nearly equal in size and the cord inserts into the chorionic bridge of tissue that connects the two lobes
bilobed placenta
fatal condition associated with multiple congenital anomalies and absence of the umbilical cord
body stalk anomaly
very rare condition where there is a massive subchorionic thrombosis of the placenta secondary to extreme venous obstruction
breus mole
Attachment of the placental membranes to the fetal surface of the placenta rather than to the underlying placental margin
Extrachorial placenta
Bending, twisting, and bulging of the umbilical cord vessels mimicking a knot in the umbilical cord
false knot
Periumbilical abdominal wall defect, typically to the right of normal cord insertion that results in free bloating bowel within the amniotic fluid
gastroschisis
A condition characterized by multiple complex fetal anomalies and a short umbilical cord
Limb-body wall complex
Occurs when the umbilical cord inserts at the placental margin
marginal insertion/battledore placenta
Central anterior abdominal wall defect at the site of cord insertion into the fetal abdomen that results in abdominal organs protruding outside the abdominal cavity but contained by a covering membrane consisting of peritoneum, wharton jelly, and amnion
omphalocele
Term that refers to a thickened or hydropic placenta
Placentomegaly
linear, extra-amniotic tissue that projects into the amniotic cavity with no restriction of fetal movement
Synechia (asherman syndrome)
intraplacental area of hemorrhage or clot
thrombosis
Result of the fetus actually passing through a loop or loops of umbilical cord creating one or more knots in the cord
True knot
Method of assessing the degree of umbilical cord coiling, defined as the number of complete coils per cm length of cord
umbilical coiling index (UCI)
Vascular structure connecting the fetus and placenta that normally contains two arteries and one vein surrounded by wharton jelly
umbilical cord
failure of the normal physiologic gut herniation to regress into the abdomen resulting in a small amount of bowel protruding into the base of the umbilical cord
umbilical hernia
Tubular, anechoic structures found beneath the chorionic plate that correspond to blood filled spaces found at delivery
Venous lakes
Placental hydrops produces a
a- thin placenta with venous lakes
b- thick placenta with a ground like appearance
c- annular placenta with irregular contour
d-membranacea placenta with low resistance blood flow
Thick placenta with a “ground-glass appearance”
A “jelly like placenta” is associated with
a-venous lakes
b-IUGR
c-adjacent fibroid
d-degeneration
IUGR
A succenturiate placenta
a-has increased frequency in primigravidas
b-is ring shaped
c-most often have velamentous umbilical cord insertion
d- is edematous
most often have velamentous umbilical cord insertion
Circumvallate placental tissue is
a-flat and noted on approx 20% of placenta
b-associated with a thickened rolled chorioamniotic membrane
c-extremely rare
d-prone to fetal macrosomia
associated with thicken rolled chorioamniotic membrane
