76
Q

Atresias

A

Develop when portion of bowel grows and infarcts Occurs anywhere in gastrointestinal tract Polyhydramnios evident on ultrasound

77
Q

Blockage results in

A

back-up of amniotic fluid and hydramnios

78
Q

Esophageal Atresia

A

Most common form occurs in conjunction with a fistula, communicating between trachea and esophagus (tracheoesophageal fistula). allows passage of amniotic fluid into stomach

79
Q

Esophageal Atresia

A

Gastric secretions may contribute to stomach fluid

80
Q

Combination of polyhydramnios and absent stomach over repeated studies may be suggestive of

A

esophageal atresia

81
Q

In >50% of cases, stomach present because fistula usually present that leads to fluid filling stomach

A

Esophageal Atresia

82
Q

Esophageal Atresia

A

Hydramnios may exist from impaired reabsorption of swallowed fluid and be associated with esophageal atresia; usually does not develop until third trimester

83
Q

Esophageal Atresia

A

Growth restriction present in 40% of cases Chromosomal trisomies (18 and 21) reported Coexisting anomalies common in 50% to 70% of fetuses with esophageal atresia

84
Q

85
Q

Duodenal Atresia Sonographic Findings

A

Two echo-free communicating structures (stomach and duodenum) found in upper fetal abdomen Sonographic appearance termed “double bubble sign” Hydramnios almost always seen with duodenal atresias later in pregnancy

A

50%

89
Q

Occurs in 1 in 3000 to 5000 live births; thought to be secondary to vascular accident, volvulus or gastroschisis or be sporadic

A

Bowel Intestinal Obstructions

90
Q

Bowel Intestinal Obstructions

A

Atresia or stenosis of jejunum or ileum, or both, and small bowel atresia slightly more common than duodenal atresia

91
Q

Blockage of jejunum and ileal bowel segments

A

(jejunoileal atresia or stenosis) appears as multiple cystic structures (more than two) proximal to site of atresia within fetal abdomen

92
Q

Bowel Intestinal Obstructions

A

General rule: The more distal the obstruction, the less severe the hydramnios, and the later it will develop.

93
Q

Causes of fetal small-bowel obstruction include:

A

Malrotation Atresias Volvulus Peritoneal bands Cystic fibrosis Dilated bowel loops isolated or associated with other anomalies, ascites, or meconium peritonitis

94
Q

Sonographic Findings

A

Intestinal obstructions appear as cystic bowel loops discontinuous with stomach Fetal intestinal obstruction should be suspected when clear cystic structures found in pelvis Vascular restriction may lead to obstruction secondary to gastroschisis

95
Q

Meconium Ileus

A

Is a small-bowel disorder marked by presence of thick meconium in distal ileum

96
Q

Earliest manifestation of cystic fibrosis occurring (%)

A

10% to 15% of patients; is third most common form of neonatal bowel obstruction after atresia and malrotation

97
Q

Meconium begins to accumulate in the fetal bowel in the second trimester, at which time it can be seen sonographically as tiny echogenic reflections within the peristaltic small bowel.

A

Meconium Ileus

98
Q

Meconium Ileus

A

The anal sphincter prevents the passage of meconium (meconium plug) into the amniotic fluid, unless the fetus is stressed or traumatized.

99
Q

Meconium Ileus Sonographic Findings

A

Ileum dilates because of impacted meconium (which appears echogenic) Increased production of mucus by GI organs and electrolyte imbalance explains overproduction of meconium (characteristic of cystic fibrosis)

100
Q

Anorectal Atresia

A

Presents as complex disorder of bowel and genitourinary tract Imperforate anus is disorder that occurs when membrane covers anus, prohibiting expulsion of meconium

103
Q

Sonographic FindingsMeconium Peritonitis

A

104
Q

Hyperechoic Bowel

A

Grade 1: Mildly echogenic and typically diffuse Grade 2: Moderately echogenic and typically focal Grade 3: Very echogenic; similar to that of bone structures

105
Q
