anopthalmos
_____ is abnormally wide spacing of the orbits
hypertelorism
______ is abnormally small eyes
micropthalmos
______ is presence of only one eye
cyclops
_____ is abnormally close spacing of the orbits
hypotelorism
_____ describes an abnormally shaped cerebellum associated with neural tube defects
banana sign
_____ describes an abnormal shape to the frontal bones associated with neural tube defects
lemon sign
_____ refers to a more round shape to the head than usual, resulting in a larger BPD
brachycephaly
______ refers to an elongated shape to the head, resulting in a smaller BPD than expected
dolicocephaly
Fetal age begins at the time of
conception
Gestational age in the world of sonography generally refers to
menstrual age
Give 4 reasons why it is important to know the menstrual age of a pregnancy
- invasive procedure 2. menstrual AFP screening
3. delivery date 4. evaluate fetal growth
The ______ is a hypoechoic area in the fundus of the uterus that is seen at about 4 weeks menstrual age
gestational sac
By 5 weeks, a measurable _____ is seen
gestational sac
At what HCG level should the gestational sac be seen
above 500 mIU/mL
During the first 10 weeks, what is the growth rate for the gestational sac
1mm/day
At what size gestational sac should the yolk sac be seen
> 8mm
Why should an over distended bladder matter when measuring the gestational sac
compression of gest sac
What is the normal size for a yolk sac
<6mm
A gestational sac greater than 8mm is associated with
poor preg outcome
At what gest sac size should cardiac activity be seen
> 16mm
How accurate is the gest sac diameter in predicting gestational age
+/- 2-3 weeks
How accurate is CRL in predicting gestational age
+/- 3-5 days
If the CRL is so much more accurate than the GSD in predicting gestational age, why do we need to measure the GSD after CRL is visible
correlate sac size to embryo size
