homogeneous, maybe small cysts

36
Q

Describe congenital anomalies of the uterus and ovaries.

A

Developmental abnormality, interference with blood supply or distortion of uterine cavity may cause infertility or spontaneous abortion

A

approximately .5%

38
Q

Congenital anomalies of the uterus and ovaries have a very high association with what?

A

renal anomalies

39
Q

Müllerian abnormalities include what?

A

improper fusion, incomplete development of one side, incomplete vaginal canalization

40
Q

If Müllerian anomalies are detected, what should you do?

A

You should ALWAYS check kidneys

41
Q

What are the six groups of Müllerian anomalies?

A

Class I - incomplete vaginal canalization
Class II - unicornuate uterus
Class III - uterus didelphys
Class IV - bicornuate uterus
Class V - septate uterus
Class VI - Diethylstibestrol (DES) exposure - “T” shape uterus
C

42
Q

Class I - Segmental Mullerian agenesis-incomplete vaginal canalization

A
  • transverse vaginal septum or vaginal atresia (not fully formed)
  • suspected when girl reaches puberty without menstruation
43
Q
Class I - Vaginal atresia
hydrocolpus -
hydrometrocolpus-
hematometrocolpus-
cervix may be \_\_\_\_\_\_\_
large \_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_ in neonatal period or \_\_\_\_\_ at puberty
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.
A

hydrocolpus - fluid filled vagina
hydrometrocolpus - fluid filled vagina and uterus
hematometrocolpus - blood filled vagina and uterus
cervix may be absent
large cystic pelvic mass in neonatal period or diagnosis at puberty
imperforate hymen

44
Q

Class II

A
  • unicornuate uterus
  • complete unilateral arrest of Mullerian Ducts
  • may have small rudimentary horn if partial arrest
  • long, slender uterus (cigar shaped)
  • deviated to one side
  • frequently renal agenesis on contralateral side
  • small and laterally positioned uterus
  • infertility and pregnancy loss
45
Q

Class III

A
  • uterus didelphys
  • complete nonfusion of Müllerian ducts
  • complete duplication of uterus, cervix, and vagina
  • not usually associated with infertility problems - no treatment
  • 2 endometrial echo complexes
46
Q

Class IV

A
  • bicornuate uterus
  • partial nonfusion of the Müllerian ducts
  • duplication of uterus-common cervix
  • wide-spaced cavities - low incident of fertility complications - usually not treated
  • rudimentary cavity - at 12-16 weeks gestation, rupture of uterine cavity
  • 2 endometrial cavities visualized
47
Q

Class V

A

Septate uterus

  • 2 uterine cavities closely spaced - 1 fundus - possibly 2 cervical canals or vaginal septum
  • highest incidence of infertility problems
  • MOST COMMON UTERINE ANOMALY
48
Q

Class VI

A
  • exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES) in utero - synthetic drug used in 1970’s during pregnancy to treat threatened and habitual abortion
  • drug causes vaginal malignancies in the daughters
  • uterus - normal shape and size
  • uterine cavity “T” shaped, irregular contour
49
Q

Ambiguous Genitalia

-hermaphroditism

A
  • True - both ovarian and testicular tissue
  • Internal and external genitalia variable
  • 46, XX karyotype, or mosaics (46, XX/46, XY)
50
Q

Ambiguous Genitalia

-Female pseudohermaphroties

A
  • 46, XX karyotype
  • increase production of androgens
  • masculinization of external genitalia (enlarged clitoris, abnormalities of urogenital sinus and partial fusion of the labia majora)
  • ultrasound used to determine presence or absence of uterus, vagina and ovaries
51
Q

Precocious Puberty

-true precocious puberty

A

ALWAYS isosexual (same sex)

  • development of secondary sexual characteristics and increasing size and activity of reproductive organs prior to normal puberty age-usually < 10 y/o
  • uterus enlarged, postpubertal configuration - 2:1 & 3:1 fundus/cervix ratio
  • ovarian volume enlarged > 1 cubic cm - functional cysts present
52
Q

Precocious pseudopuberty

A
  • maturation of secondary sexual characteristics but not reproductive organs
  • no activation of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis
  • usually associated with increase steroidal release from adrenal glands-tumors
  • should always scan the liver and adrenal glands to r/o lesion
53
Q

Pathology of the Pediatric Ovary

-Ovarian cyst

A
  • may form inutero, but spontaneously resolve
  • 3-7 mm cysts normal
  • higher incident in neonates of mothers with toxemia, diabetes, Rh isoimmunization - greater than normal release of placental chorionic gonadotropin
  • most common complications: hemorrhage, torsion
  • may rupture
  • Sono findings - anechoic structure adjacent to, or within ovary may have debris if hemorrhage
    • little or no color flow to ovary if torsion
54
Q

Pathology of the Pediatric Ovary

-Ovarian Torsion

A
  • may occur at any age
  • sudden onset of severe pain**
  • more common associated with ovarian cyst/mass
  • arterial and venous blood flow compromised (venous first)**
  • enlarged and edematous ovary
55
Q

Pathology of the Pediatric Ovary

-Ovarian Teratomas

A
  • uncommon in adolescent and neonate
  • 60% germ cell
  • benign or malignant
    • most common in pediatrics is benign mature teratoma or dermoid cyst
      • usually asymptomatic until gets very large
      • mmost frequent complication is torsion - 16-40%
56
Q

What is the sonographic appearance of ovarian teratomas?

A
  • varied-complex, heterogeneous mass
  • frequently echogenic foci with acoustic shadowing-less shadowing in neonates
  • “tip of the iceberg”
