Chapter 23 - The first trimester Flashcards
complete expulsion or partial expulsion of the conceptus
Abortion
sonographic sign which describes appearance of ectopic pregnancy within FT
adnexal ring sign
wall of inner sac (amniotic cavity) that contains the embryo and amniotic fluid echogenic curvilinear structure that may be seen during 1st trimester within gestational sac
Amnion
cavity that contains simple appearing amniotic fluid and the developing embryo
amniotic cavity
an abnormal pregnancy in which there is no evidence of a fetal pole or yolk sac within the GS
-refereed to as blighted ovum
Anembryonic gestation
a condition of having abnormal number of chromosomes
Aneuploid
stage of conceptus that implants within the decidulaized endometrium
Blastocyst
low heart rate
Bradycardia
most malignanet form of gestation trophoblastic disease with possible metastatic to liver and lungs and vagina
choriocarcinoma
outer membrane of gestation that surround amnion and developing embryo
chorion
part of the chorion covered by chorionic villi that is the fetal contribution of the placenta
chorion frondosum
he space between the chorionic sac and amniotic sac that contains the secondary yolk sac; also referred to as the extraembryonic coelom
chorionic cavity
gestational sac
chorionic sac
fingerlike projections of gestational tissue that attach to the decidualized endometrium and allow transfer of nutrients from the mother to the fetus
chorionic villi
specialized cells within the ventricular system responsible for cerebrospinal fluid production
choroid plexus
e combination of a female ovum with a male sperm to produce a zygote also referred to as fertilization
Conception
physiologic ovarian cyst that develops after ovulation has occurred
corpus luteum cyst
the corpus luteum that is maintained during an early pregnancy for the purpose of producing estrogen and primarily progesterone
corpus luteum of pregnancy
the corpus luteum that is maintained during an early pregnancy for the purpose of producing estrogen and primarily progesterone
corpus luteum of pregnancy
the measurement of the embryo/fetus from the top of the head to the rump
CRL
the endometrial at the implantation site and the maternal contribution of the placenta
decidua basalis
the physiologic effect of the endometrium in the presence of a pregnancy
decidual reaction
the level of human chorionic gonadotropin beyond which an intrauterine pregnancy is consistently visible
Discriminatory zone
*Normal US appearance of decidua capsularis & decidua parietalis
*Separated by anechoic fluid-filled uterine cavity
double decidual sign
a sequela of preeclampsia in which uncontrollable maternal hypertension and proteinuria lead to maternal convulsions and possibly fetal and maternal death
eclampsia
term given to the developing fetus before 10 weeks gestation
embryo
-The death of an embryo before 10 weeks gestation
embryonic demise
-A double fold of dura mater located within midline of the brain
falx cerebri
the fingerlike extension of the fallopian tube located on the infundibulum
fimbria
-Localized, painless contractions of the myometrium in the gravid uterus that should resolve within 20-30 minutes
focal myometrial contraction
the way in which a pregnancy can be dated based on the first day of the last menstrual cycle also referred as menstrual age
gestational age
a disease associated with an abnormal proliferation of the trophoblastic cells during pregnancy; may also be referred to as molar pregnancy
gestation trophoblastic disease
the name for the dominant follicle prior to ovulation
Graafian follicle
the development of blood cells
Heamtopoiesis
co-existing ectopic and intrauterine pregnancies
heteropic pregnancy
-The most common form of gestational trophoblastic disease in which there is excessive growth of the placenta and high levels of human chorionic gonadotropin
-typically benign
hydatidiform mole
excessive vomitting during pregnancy
hyperemeis gravid arum
a bleed that occurs at the time in which the conceptus implants into the decidualized endometrium
implantation bleeding
distal segment of fallopian tube
infundibulum
Appearance of small gestational sac in uterine cavity surrounded by thickened, echogenic endometrium
intradecidual sign
a type of gestational trophoblastic disease in which a molar pregnancy invades into the myometrium and may also invade through the uterine wall and into the peritoneum
Invasive mole
early embryonic structures that will eventually give rise to the extremities
limb buds
the measurement of the gestational sac to obtain a gestational age; achieved by adding the measurements of the length width and height of the gestational sac and dividing by 3
mean sac diameter
a chemotherapy drug used to attack rapidly dividing cells like those seen in an early pregnancy; this drug is often used to manage ectopic pregnancy
methotrexate
the spontaneous end of a pregnancy before viability
miscarriage
Fetal demise with retained fetus
missed abortion
the developmental stage of the conceptus following the zygote
morula
the normal developmental stage when the midgut migrates into the base of the umbilical cord
physiologic bowel herniation
Pregnancy-induced maternal high blood pressure & excess protein in urine after 20 weeks gestation
preeclampsia
-The appearance of an abnormally shaped false gestational sac within the uterine cavity as a result of an ectopic pregnancy
-this often corresponds with the accumulation of blood and secretions within the uterine cavity
pseudogestional sac
the primary brain vesicle also referred to as the hindbrain become the cerebellum pons medulla oblongata and fourth ventricle
rhombencephalon
the structure responsible for early nutrient transfer to the embryo; the yolk sac seen during a sonographic examination of the early gestation
secondary yolk sac
