Q

A

Q

In twin to twin transfusion what is know to be true..

A

it exist when there is an arteriovenous shunt with the placenta.
The arterial blood of one twin is pumped into the venous system of the other twin.
The donor twin becomes anemic and growth restricted.
The twin has less blood flow through it’s kidneys and urinates less, causing it to develop oligohydramnios,

The recipient twin
gets too much blood flow
may be normal or larger in size
has excess blood flow through kidneys and urinates more, causing polyhydramnios
may go into heart failure and become hydropic

Q

What are the advantages of Chorionic villi sampling (CVS)?

A

biopsy of the placenta to obtain a fetal karyotype
performed early in pregnancy (10-14 wks)
results are available within 1 wk
early results allow more options for parents

Q

Amniocentesis may be used for what?

A

obtain a sample of amniotic fluid for Rh testing

monitor the isoimmunized pregnancy with delta optical denstiy 450

23
Q

Why do we perform amniocentesis?

A

relieve polyhyramnios
to predict Rh isoimmunization
document fetal lung maturity

24
Q

Twins that arise from two separately fetilized ova are what kind?

A

dizygotic

25
Q

Sonographic findings may suggest chromosomal anomalies include what?

A

?

26
Q

High levels of AFP indicate what?

A

neural tube defects
anencephaly
open spina bifida

27
Q

The quad screen evaluates all of the following markers…

AFP (Alpha-Fetoprotein)
hCG
unconjugated estriol
inhibin-A

28
Q

An abnormality in the number of chromosomes is called what?

A

aneuploidy

29
Q

An early noninvasive means of assessing the risk of aneuploidy is what?

A

nuchal fold measurement

30
Q

Secondary to pregnancy induced hypertension of coma and serizures of a patient in the 2nd and 3rd trimester represents what?

A

eclampsia

31
Q

A large cystic hygroma, hydrops, coarctation of the aorta may be seen in a fetus with what?

A

Turner’s Syndrome

32
Q

A common reason for an elevated maternal serum AFP (MSAFP) is what?

A

to rule out neural tube defects

33
Q

Free beta hCG can be assessed in maternal serum in the first trimester to evaluate for an increased risk in what condition?

A

Down Syndrome

34
Q

After amniocentesis the sonographer should demonstrate and document which one of the following?

A

cardiac activity (heart rate)

35
Q

Continuous monitoring during an amniocentesis with ultrasound is invaluable in patients with which one of the following conditions?

A

oligohydramions
anterior placental placement
premature rupture of membranes (PROM)

36
Q

Fetal death occurs after the fetus has reached a certain growth that is too large to reabsorb into the uterus is called what?

A

fetal papyraceous

37
Q

What structures is AFP found?

A

fetal spine
gastrointestinal tract
liver
kidneys

38

Holoproscenphaly and proboscis are most likely to be found in a fetus with what?

A

Trisomy 13

41
Q

Pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) levels what do they do during the pregnancy?

A

a glycoprotein derived from the trophoblastic tissue that is then diffused into the maternal circulation
it increases in the maternal serum throughout pregnancy
levels decrease with pregnancies affected by aneuploidy

42
Q

AFP is produced early in gestation by which of the following structures?

A

yolk sac - early gestation

fetal liver - later in gestation

43
Q

The most common aneuploid condition is what?

A

Down Syndrome

44
Q

An optimal collection site in an amniocentesis includes all of the following…

A

away from the fetus
away from the central part of the placenta
away from the umbilical cord
near the maternal midline to avoid the maternal uterine vessels

45
Q

Maternal serum AFP increase with advancing gestational age and peak at how many weeks gestation?

A

15 to 18 weeks

46
Q

Low AFP levels have been found in what condition?

A

closed spina bifida (occulta) because there is no opening to allow leakage

chromosomal abnormalities
trisomy 13
trisomy 18 
trisomy 21

51
Q

What are the 5 most common types of conjoined twins?

A
pygopagus (joined at the ischial region)
ischiopagus (joined at the buttocks)
thoracopagus (joined at the thorax)
omphalopagus (joined at the anterior wall)

52
Q

What is auto-somomal recessive?

A

a pair of defective gene

inherited by both parents

53
Q

What is auto-somomal dominate?

A

a single defective gene

inherited by one parent

54
Q

What are mosaic patterns?

A

is the occurrence of a gene mutation or chromosomal abnormality in a portion of an individual’s cells. It is difficult to predict the types of problems that will occur when mosaicism is found.
